Loved both! On first watching, i didn’t love the movie as much as i already loved the book, which i fondly remember reading aloud all night long with a friend once… but the movie is so funny and quotable, and as you say, had the benefit of the author’s own hand in the screenplay, that i love it more on every re-watching, even when i could turn the sound down and say each line. Wonderful acting, as well. Both great!!!

Mrs. Retro reminded me that I read it aloud to her on our honeymoon.
And I also love the movie more on every re-watching!
