the only two similarity to this classic novel be the title and the name of the main character . poor old jerome must have turn in his grave a he look down and watch this be create . the original book contain a multitude of comic situation which could have be harvest to create a memorable film but someone somewhere have a good idea . all three lead actor where perfectly cast to play jerome character and if only they have be allow to do so then this could well have become a british comedy classic . poor acting and directing and script with lightweight story line . one for all concern to erase from their memoir . a great cast who must have shudder and shrink down in their seat at the showing of each day rush .
