2242 ( )

A failed wizard is forced to escort a tourist through the fantasy-parodying Discworld.

It's a very faithful adaptation, in the sense that everything is there, and everything about the Discworld looks "right" (although clearly under budget). But I would have liked a funny adaptation, myself. The books made me laugh out loud, so you'd think that in a movie, where delivery is possible, I would have been in stitches. I didn't laugh once. The cast is great, but the director doesn't seem to have any sense of timing. It's still entertaining, but only at an amused smile level. ( )
