Query: A passable adaptation at best

Well, to start off with, if you're not familiar with the underlying book, this will probably have absolutely zero appeal to you.For fans of the book, this is mostly a let down. Most of the clever, funny, endearing, and amusing scenes from the book have either been excised in the film or just haven't translated to film all that well. It's kind of a pity, because the excellent television adaptation of Hogfather showed that the Discworld can be adapted to screen successfully.Recommendation: pass, go directly to Hogfather.
