Finally got it on DVD, and it was enjoyable as I had hoped, however I do have a couple complaints…How do you assemble such a fantastic ensemble and spend the majority of the time ignoring them? Did Greg Wise even have a line? Jeremy Northam had like 2…and I could have done with more Gillian Anderson, and more Keely Hawes (that wasn’t labor pain induced screaming).

I really enjoyed the post-modern style of the storytelling, but could have done with a lot less of the behind the scenes stuff and more having to do with the actual novel story…Steve Coogan was funny when he had stuff to do (like with the chestnut or the life size womb)...but otherwise wasn’t very entertaining.
