I missed the fact this was a novelization (novelleaation?) of a movie script; for some reason I thought it went the other way despite being based on the screenplay right on the cover. Ah well!

It was..somewhat amusing. I'm not all that sure I'd enjoy the movie either. The humor was there, but so over the top as to fall flat for me. It was at least short, so it's amusing parts were close together.

I suspect if you enjoy the over-the-top not-quite-slapstick-but-close humor, you'll enjoy this. It's verbal as well as slapstick, but just not my thing.
