Oh man I loved this film. I so wanted to hate it... I so wanted to disregard it. I wanted it to die! How dare they make a movie of such a good book! But, alas, I loved it. It had me cracking up, even if it did miss a few good chances at some jokes. Didn't really follow the book much, but from what I heard, it wasn't trying to. 8/10 for being a nice fun, family flick.
Arthur and Trillian had a little bit more love in this story, The big computer had a woman's voice, and a few other weird things were added in, but most were pretty good. The horrible vogon poetry didn't work out that funny, but there were some great jokes... I just cracked up at some of them.
"Peculiarly, the bowl of petunias only thoughts before it fell was 'Oh no, not again.' Some say that if we were to KNOW why the bowl of petunias had said such a thing, we would know much more about the universe today." However, I'm not sure many people at my theater got the humour the movie was aiming at... I sometimes found myself the only one laughing, probably annoying the others around me.
Anyhoo, I recommend this movie for a nice good time.
