Got to see it today and enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's hysterically funny, but that it's rather cute, creative, very sweet...and very silly. There were plenty of giggles in the audience, including mine. Glad I never read the books because I heard that the 'followers' are disappointed with the flick...too bad. Good cast, too, etc. etc...
One of the actors I had never heard of, Zooey Deschanel, reminded me so much of a young Debra Winger. Just seconds after I saw her onscreen, I thought of Winger. I just did a little research on Zooey and found that she was in a movie called "Eulogy" with Winger last year and they played relatives!! It was an omg! moment for me. ;-)
