I bought the DVD on a whim on sight - I've read a lot of Terry Pratchett and had never heard any of his stuff was made into a movie. I did not remember much about this one as a book. Well, the film was a delight. Susan is to die for, and Teatime is spellbinding. Indeed, that is the strength - there is some excellent acting, sympathetic to the book. The visuals are quite theatric - the special effects are not whiz bang, they feel more like part of the theater set - and the whole thing has a very human feel. The film is not quite like a book but it has charm and quirk and feels compatible with Pratchett. Overall I'm very glad I found this and enjoyed it. I wonder if they will do some more Pratchett? This proves that it transfers to screen.
