[peers over glasses at report]
Magistrate: Offside Rear Tyre. Yet further additions to an already *shameful* catalogue of *pointless* misdemeanours. Let me tell you young lady, it fair gripes my gizzard to see you come before me *time* after *time* like this. You're young, you're bright, you're *crackin'* easy on the eye, when in twelve types of buggery are you goin' to pull yourself together?

If you haven't read the book, well you're going to enjoy this. If you have read the book, you'll either like or hate this.

It all depends how much of a "STARK" purist you are. I personally thought the book was far more enjoyable after watching this.

Some people I know didn't like it for it's strong environmental message. Personally I thought it was a good thing.

Go watch it. It's not a masterpiece of film but it is good entertainment.
