The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy [Posted on 2008-10-21]
Great movie. You will want to watch it more than once. So many things are going on that you see new things you missed the first time around. A must have for your DVD collection
Pathetic at every level [Posted on 2008-11-06]
I have never been more disappointed in a film I expected to enjoy. This boring, beyond childish, piece of wasted energy should be flushed immediately before infection occurs.
The art of the humor of a cup of tea [Posted on 2008-11-11]
That's probably not a masterpiece, not even as good as the radio show. But it is good. The main handicap for this film is that everything that was pure imagination on the radio show has to become visible, visual, hence no longer requiring the audience's imagination but satisfying their visual curiosity. Then of course this film has to use visual surprises and visual absurd hiatuses or oxymora. Thus the main character has to be in his pajamas all along since he was "captured" in them. A little bit skimpy for long distance travelling. Then I must admit they did a tremendous job at finding incongruous and funny situations even if some of them are trite, like being master-minded by plain mice, though they look cute our masters in their little fragile beings, and all the more fragile when they are crushed as flat as a cartoon drawing by some kind of torturing device. Apart from that it does not have any kind of deep meaning. It is all funny and it does not aim at being anything else, British funny of course, so rather just silly or funny ah ah, but not hilarious or brain meddling funny. The radio show was a lot more mysterious and brainy because it was entirely relying on the words and it was at times extremely witty. But it is quite some entertainment indeed.

I Loved This! [Posted on 2008-12-01]
This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. There were Doctor Who elements, The Fifth Element elements and Monty Python elements all wrapped up into one quirky but thoughtful and entertaining film. Despite the many random events that take place there is a peculiar order to things... it all makes sense... eventually! Great characters and dialog. And I loved the song So Long and Thanks for all the Fish (lol)! Definitely Brit-humor.
What could have been... [Posted on 2008-12-04]
I read that Adams had picked Hugh Laurie and Jim Carrey to play the leads in this, but it was changed after Adams died. I bet that would have been something great.
