Don't panic...there won't be any harsh criticism of this adaptation of the Douglas Adams' book. I mean, really, who wouldn't like a movie that begins with a showtune performed by dolphins?
My question to anyone who reads this blog is, was this movie really all about getting the girl? Didn't it seem like it adhered to that tired old movie format of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy's planet gets destroyed and he's saved by his best friend, boy meets up with girl in a spaceship, boy loses girl again to Vogons, boy has to fill out a bunch of forms to rescue girl, and then boy and girl fall in love?
Oh, and is the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything, really romantic love? Cuz if it is, man, I'd rather it be 42. Come on!
By the way, don't forget that if you want to survive in this galaxy, you have to know where your towel is. Preferrably a pink one! ;-)
