show I caught a glimpse of was great. You really need actual Brits to
play those roles. Once you put Americans in there, the whole thing
falls apart.
The majority of the actors as well as the producer and director were
Brits. They even managed to snag Helen Mirren.
For the 2000s movie? It definitely didn't feel British. I found it
remarkably dull.

I think Rockwell, Bey, Deschamel, and Malkovitch are the only Yanks.
And they ruined it for me. Rockwell's role really needed a Brit. His
attempts at humour would have worked had there been a British accent
behind them.

Good luck building it.
I read the book and thought it had its moments but I figured that by
watching the movie, I would have understood a little more why some
people think it's such stellar literature. In the end, if the movie is
an accurate depiction of the book, I'm not impressed. Of course, the
1970s were a different time.
The books were "stitched" together radio skits. That's why they're so
uneven. The parts that are funny, however, are hilarious. (At least they
are to me.) It's the "connecting" parts of the book that are dull.
I didn't realize that they started off as radio skits and THEN became
books. I thought it was the opposite. I guess it makes sense then that
the TV show from the 1980s is a lot funnier than the movie.
