I never read the book but then I do not read fiction - and I don't care what changes were made in the script - although just today I ordered The Devil's Candy, a book about the making of the film - but I have never laughed so hard in my life throughout this masterpiece of a comedy especially the performance given by F. Murray Abraham which I understand was uncredited, something I do not understand at all. Melanie Griffith is smashing in this - the best thing she ever did aside from Working Girl - and Tom Hanks is perfect. But it is Bruce Willis' performance that holds everything together and he really shines here - in fact his performance is quite compassionate at a certain point showing a side of him I did not think existed -although I'm a great fan of his comedy work especially Death Becomes Her - for the life of me I will never understand why this film bombed as loudly as it did - maybe it ruffled too many of those bleeding heart liberal feathers in LaLaLand!
