The adaptation of most books to film usually goes wrong somewhere. And somewhere in this movie it did as well, but I can't put my finger on it where. It's just that when you read Pratchett's work, you lose yourself in a world of fantasy and comedy. But in the movie, most of the humour gets lost I suppose. I have read 6 to 7 books of the Discworld, and loved every one of them. I haven't read Hogfather yet but you do recognise a lot of characters. But it is the humour between the lines, the puns and the side notes that make those books so funny and it is lost in the adaptation. The acting is very good and so are the special effects (although sometimes a bit roughly done) and I think the casting was very good as well. It was good to see the characters come to life but you never totally fall into that fantasy as you do with reading the book. So to summarise: good film, but I think the book will be better. 7/10
