The book is just a nice read. If movies spoil books for you, definitely read the book first. But the movie is true to the story and both are great.

Book was great, movie was ok, but a little too much buddy comedy.

well, clearly the buddy comedy made it absurdly popular, so i'd say it was just the right amount.
Tolerable for the nerds, entertaining for everyone else.
