Watching movies without any previous knowledge of them is how I experience them. Sometimes I might know the book, graphic novel or whatever source it is based on. In this case, I had no idea there was a book, therefor cannot compare it to it whatsoever. From reading from other sources it seems to be a good interpretation of it. I can only say that it has a nice vibe to it (guess the book had the same thing going on then).

Michael Jai White might seem to have the weakest character at first, but seems to have more going on (also acting wise) than some of the others. Everyone is having fun though and it's tough to really dislike the movie, I think. It's good little fun, even for those who didn't know what a "Freaky Deaky" is ...

This was a great funny movie for people who really like character actors, facial expressions & modern day scenarios. With notable likeable actors like, Christian Slater, Crispin Glover & Michael Jai White. Crispin Glover is just classic as always in this no brainer comedy about life in Detroit. Swimming pools, million dollar mansions & babes dot the screen with color that will make you chuckle throughout the flick. This is a excellent movie to watch alone or with friends just hanging out on a Thursday night with a glass of wine for a good tongue & cheek laugh. A fun story especially if you like glitter, great acting and excellent cinematography. I really enjoyed the location scenes in this movie too. Crispin Glover is a highlight in this movie. Christian Slater plays a role in this movie that reminds me a little of Bridges in the Great Lebowski, which best describes this genre of film, you watch and tell me what you think? Enjoy, Hollywood Trout

How have I not heard of this till now? Super funny and with lots of plot twists. If you seen this first then watch the book after. Glad they followed the book closely by one of the most outstanding western and crime fiction writers, Elmore Leonard. 10 stars.
