Finally saw this tonight (and sorry I haven't taken time to read all other posts in this thread if I repeat anything)
I thought it was a great adaptation, that didn't shy away from any of the issues in the original
And I actually thought the revised ending was better than the graphic novel, the big rubber squid would have been crap on screen!
Normally I hate to see a movie when I have read a book, this was an very pleasant exception
I thought the comedian was played excellently
