I don't wanna be one of those hyper-literate know-it-alls who tells you that you need to "READ" Inherent Vice before you go to see the Paul Thomas Anderson epic on the big screen. I will say though, that it makes the film much more enjoyable. PTA lifts Pynchon's enigmatic prose straight from the book pastes it directly into the screenplay -- so it's bound to not make much sense, seeing as the book is wild and woolly enough.
I'll have to see this again to make a full assessment. For now, my pal Jeff Weiss sat down with the director (lucky duck) to ask some of those burning questions.
