Part of me wanted this to be a 'must buy' release, but it looks very similar to the Shout! Factory release from a few years ago, so it won't be the pre-order I was hoping for.
Honestly the film is a 3 star affair. I don't really think it's easy to duplicate the way Vonnegut injects humour into the written word and the vibe of the book doesn't translate as it should. Having said that if you like the book which it seems you do then i think it's a must buy movie.

The Fabulous films release from 2017 is a mere £5.99 on Amazon. There aren't any extras but if it was me i'd go for that one. If you adore the film you could always pick up the Arrow release in an HMV offer a few months down the line rather than forking out £20.
