If you liked the book, then you should enjoy the movie just fine. The issue is the book is not something easily adaptable to become a movie that you could enjoy even if you never read the book and liked it. Some more tweaking could've made this movie a lot more enjoyable to the general audience instead of just taking out the more offensive lines.
At the end of the movie you learned and felt nothing. Just an hour and a half to waste time. Steven Stelfox gives you no reason to understand why he would have friends in the first place. You literally know nothing about Steven beyond his cynical internal monologue about the world. Obviously he's not a likable guy, and he's even more charmless in the book, but it doesn't translate well on screen. That was the biggest issue.
I think all of the actors did a good job, and Nicholas Hoult did a good job of portraying Steven even though I think he was still looking way too young to be that cynical about life. Other than that, I don't think this book should have been a movie, some things are just better off being left as books.
