Pretty entertaining movie, a few comments.

For me the backstory was even more interesting than the movie. In his younger days Thompson wrote the manuscript for "Rum Diary" but it had been left unfinished and unpublished. In more recent years Depp discovered it in Thompson's basement among other things and through a collaborative effort with others trimmed, polished and published the book. Now it is this movie, a very interesting one.

Befitting the title there is a lot of rum-drinking in the movie, plus some cock-fighting, nude swimming, and sailing. While it is not autobiographical the fictional Kemp is certainly quite close to the author's own character. Depp is of course quite good. The critic Ebert has a very fair and accurate review.
