I have seen the movie and find it to be excellent and worth watching, as it gives you the reason for starting the T. V. series. I also have the first year to year 5 - all that has come out, and find it very informative, even for those who have not followed all, as I have. Am only waiting for the next season to come out, so that I may view it again, and complete the series to date.
Hilarious movie. Other reviewer likened it to Heller's Catch-22 I agree. This film captures the horror of war, as well as the absurdity and humour inherent in it, as the book did. I've read this book as well, give it a miss and watch the film, but read Heller's masterpiece.
Excellent film, reminscent of Keller's "Catch 22". Some very funny moments, but also has a more serious side. If you haven't seen it, you should. Don't be thinking it will be anything like the TV series, either. It's far superior.
