The Rum Diary

Anyone seen the new Johnny Depp movie based off of the Hunter S. Thompson novel? I saw it opening night and thought that it was really fantastic.
 
Saw it last night. While I mostly found it hilarious, both my wife and I were disappointed by the seeming lack of depth to the story.

I would recommend seeing this with a bunch of people if anyone is considering it.
 
It's relatively accurate to the novel, which was written when Thompson was in his 20's...so I guess that could explain the lack in story. I still really liked it for what it was but the group viewing is a good suggestion.
 
I haven't read the novel... yet.

I'm not sure what was funnier, the ride back into town or my wife choking in a fit of laughter on her diet coke while crying hysterically at the screen. :D
