No, it isn't in many ways. Movie script writers always change things because a good book plot and dialogue do not always make a good movie script. In this particular case Joseph Heller's stylistic approach and plot development in the book was particularly ill-suited for a movie. But the movie is based on the book and follows its main story line. Heller approved of the changes and even admired the way in which the dialogue had been adapted.

Which came first the phrase Catch-22 or the book?
The term comes from the book entitled Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. It was later made into a movie by the same name. So Why "catch 22"? The title Catch-11 was suggested, with the duplicated 1 paralleling the repetition found in a number of character exchanges in the novel, but due to the release of the 1960 movie Ocean's Eleven this was also rejected. Catch-17 was also rejected, so as not to be confused with the World War II film Stalag 17, as well as Catch-14, apparently because the publisher did not feel that 14 was a "funny number". Eventually the title came to be Catch-22, which, like 11, has a duplicated digit, with the 2 also referring to a number of déjà vu-like events common in the novel. (quoted from wikipedia)
