A comic fantasy, the humour is witty and quite intelligent. I find Rob Reiner films to be pretty good and this was no exception. Also, the fact that the book author was involved in the production of the film suggests a reasonable transition to film took place. It proved to be a pleasant surprise after hearing all the bad criticism. My only complaint is the prominent product placement of an American postal company which appears to be endemic throughout Hollywood e.g. The Matrix, Runaway Bride etc.
