I have never read/listen to the book so can't talk about the film and the book differences but talking about the film alone, well it's meh and kinda boring. Let's talk about the story first, it starts off promising but really turns into a "let's hit every standard beat we can" kinda of film. The Character have month/years to solve a clue but only to have it in front of them, it makes them look like goons.

They clearly were trying to go for a 80s nostalgia but try to target a younger audience with modern day pop culture ref. This is ok but feels as if they should horn the ref in. Overall this film is ok but meh and boring in part.
