About this movie

Here's the absolutely hysterical, wonderfully wild, cosmic adventure comedy THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Based on Douglas Adams' worldwide best-selling novel, and starring an outrageous intergalactic cast, this is one ride you don't want to miss. Seconds before Earth is destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace express route, mild-mannered Arthur Dent is whisked into space by his best friend (an alien posing as an out-of-work actor). And so the misadventures begin as he and fellow travelers, including the cool but dim-witted President of the Galaxy, the Earth girl Trillian, and Marvin the paranoid android, search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

I would have preferred a longer beginning before the planets demise. I think we should have learned more about Arthur before him getting thrown into an adventure. Still a good story and funny in parts. Quite a few of the jokes fell flat for me but I still enjoyed it and still laughed. I can't help but fell like I should have laughed more though. A good recommendation from a friend nevertheless. Definitely worth watching.
