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.

Love the books, loved the BBC series. Anticipated this so much and was bored at the cinema. Tried three times since over the years (I bought the DVD) but could never watch it all the way through. So wrong in so many ways too.

I loved the book as a kid, but this was one of the most tedious films I've ever watched. Maybe I just grew out of the book?
