   Is 'the hippopotamus' a good movie?

   • This adaptation of Stephen Fry's comic novel relies so heavily on voiceover that it's practically an audiobook. Lacking the zeal and comic energy that the material requires, The Hippopotamus feels like a souffl that has failed to rise, leaving a film that can only be recommended to diehard Allam devotees.

   Is the hippopotamus based on a true story?

   • Sign in to vote. Unfortunately, the movie is a far cry from the novel it is based on. The novel itself is pure genius. That said, The Hippopotamus is still an entertaining movie. Witty British humor combined with a clever plot, amusing characters top with a superb performance by the leading actor Roger Allam.
