My husband was really not enthralled by this film. He did not think it was funny or clever.
So naturally I divorced him.
This was the first film I managed to sit all the way through after having a baby, (one often finds one is terribly tired 15 minuets in) and I was glad I did.
There was something very magical, very Wes Anderson about this film.
Just when I thought I had it figured out, bam! Curveball!
Some great cinematography, great acting, and a selection of jumpers that make it look like a well directed sweater advert.
My favourite Who Donit to date and well worth a watch.

May The Power Protect This Film
I really enjoyed this, i can't wait until it is release so i can watch it again,
I loved that i never found it boring, I hated the zords however, they were not as bright and as impressive as they have been in the tv shows.
And my favourite part has always been when they combined, but the combination in the film was missing and this ruined the end for me!
I can tell that this was actually a good film by the reaction of my wife, she didnt want to see it and came out saying how much it surprised her and how she actually really enjoyed it!
  
book description:
Mousy housewife Kiki Lowenstein has two great loves: scrapbooking and her young daughter, Anya. But her happy family album is ruined when her husband, George, is found naked and dead in a hotel room. As Kiki tracks down George's murderer, she discovers his sordid secret life.

Cruel taunts by George's former flame compel Kiki to spout an unwise threat. When the woman is murdered, Kiki's scissor-sharp words make her the prime suspect. She could be creating scrapbook keepsakes for the rest of her life-behind bars. Supported by her loyal friends, along with a little help (and a lot of stomach flutters) from the dashing Detective Detweiler, can Kiki cut the true killer out of the picture and design a new life for herself and Anya?

Yikes

This movie started off as a fun, mindless romp but in the second half of the movie, one of the characters pretends to have a miscarriage and it is used as a joke among the other characters. As a woman who endured four traumatic miscarriages, this was a very dark turn for me and I could not focus so much on the movie as my nerves were made raw from their callous treatment of a sensitive, traumatic event that happens to more women than you think. Miscarriage has been a taboo topic in society and women have had to suffer in silence. It should not be used so lightly as a plotline in a freaking comedy. As I said, it ruined the movie for me and I do not recommend it.

I heard this was originally meant to be a short story. I believe that 100%

I liked the character and I like what this book stood for and all of that, I really did. I just can't get over how long it took me to read this short little thing, so I'm going to focus on that.
This would've been a great book if it were 50-60 pages long. But it's nearly 200! It just dragged on and on, so much so that I could hardly remember the enjoyable thing I had just read 20 minutes prior. The length ruined it that much!
I'm curious to know what this story would've been like if Gaiman had kept it as the intended short story. Probably much better. Probably.
