Helpful Score: 2

I'm glad Alan (previous reviewer) enjoyed this so much. Sadly, I cannot second his opinion.
Yes, it had some laughs, a few good parts, and played off Stieg Larssen's "Millenium Trilogy" well, but I found much of it tedious, some meme's overdone, and the entire plot not up to "high camp/ farce" snuff. (It's certainly no "Doon!" which was funny on its face; but if you were familiar with "Dune," it was hysterical.) With "The Girl With the Sturgeon Tattoo," you absolutely need to have read Stieg's books to get any appreciation at all. As a stand-alone story, you're just "Whaaaaa..?"
Avoid like the plague if you've never read Stieg; if you have, you're taking a chance. (Reviews seem to be split on love it vs "enh.")
