People, go read the novel.
It really, truly bothers me how little this movie actually follows the novel. I'd say this movie really shows only about 15% of what the story of Nick Twisp really is, and I understand that the book is long, about 500 pages, but that's why you cut the film into three chunks, just as the novel was. This film is a hack job of a really good book. Watching this movie, I had forgotten what story I was watching. If you want to know the true Nick Twisp, the only way to do it is at your local bookstore. Trust me, it's one of the funniest books you'll ever read.
