My Review-

I'am glad I finally got to watch this movie, and it had a really awesome cast; Freeman, Rockwell, and even Rickman. from the very beginning when the narration started I was hooked and along the way the people that we met in the movie made it even better even a small cameo from Malkovich was really awesome. The story for this movie was really good and what made it good was that the same person that wrote the book wrote the screenplay which was really cool. What made this movie really funny is that it was smart with the jokes and had scenes that stood out when they would do almost the same exact thing again. Also when the narrator came to explain certain scenes it would make the scene even better than it already was. Some scenes were funnier then others and some were just down right ridiculous. I will say this I had hoped that Alan Rickman would have been it a little bit more because of the way his character was made you feel sorry for him but at the same time would make you laugh more since he looked at everything in a negative way. After watching the movie now I would like to read the book too see if it is just as funny. Each o the characters in the movie were really unique in their own ways and that is one of the reasons why I liked this movie.
