Nope. To be honest, I hadn't seen the movie for a long time (my old VHS started to go bad a while ago, too). I bought the DVD on impulse from Wal Mart about a year ago and heard all about the book via the interviews with the author in the "special features" part of the DVD.

Since I have some free time now, I really want to get the sequel from the library. It would be nice to find out what happened to all the characters after they parted ways at the end of the first book/movie.
