This was hilarious. Sam Rockwell was excellent as Zaphod, and the sound of Alan Rickman's voice is enough to make me laugh. The plot is pretty good, but you don't have to understand it to enjoy the movie. Mos Def was good as Ford Prefect, and Martin Freeman is a great everyman. A lot of the people who didn't like the changes from the book to the movie should know that every version is slightly different, something Douglas Adams liked. Besides, it's not like John Malkovich would ever ruin a movie. He's too good of an actor. The romance between Trillian and Arthur seemed to be conspicuously absent from the book, but I guess Adams didn't want to be formulaic with his book. He did add it here. Marvin is funnier than the book, just because of Rickman. Watch this in the theater, as, like most movies, the visuals are more stunning. Reading the book beforehand is also recommended. You might understand it a little more.
