The Hitchhikers Guide to the GalaxySaw it this afternoon, and while I found it entertaining, it was patchy at best. Part of the problem is that I've played the game, read the book, listened to the radio show and saw the TV series, so it's hard to surprise me, without changing the story around (which they do wildly). So the purists will hate it for tampering with the story and everybody else will be mostly baffled. There were only three or four legitimately funny bits. The entire Marvin the Paranoid Android bit, which was one of the genuine charms of the original series is annoying here. The costume is silly, and he just doesn't carry off the world-weariness of the original.
