<p>Oh my goodness.</p>
<p><3</p>
<p>That's all there is to say about this movie. :D</p>
<p>That, and...</p>
<p>GO SEE IT! NOW!</p>
<p>dont kno anythin about it, other than the fact that Mos Def is in it and is amazing</p>
<p>it's the ultimate geek movie <3333 tied only to LOTR of course :D</p>
<p>YOU'RE OBLIGATED TO SEE IT AS A GEEK.</p>
<p>In love with the book....</p>
<p>really scared the movie won't live up to it</p>
<p>The movie is not the same as the book, but that's what makes it so awesome. For what it's worth, my boyfriend, who is a serious Douglas Adams fan (has everything by him, has a book hand-signed by him, who insisted we bring towels to the premiere...) loved it.</p>
<p>Mos Def is great, Alan Rickman is great, the Arthur they chose was great, Zaphod was BRILLIANT (hahah)... the only bad part about the movie, I think, was the cheese (not like Swiss or Cheddar, but the other kind). </p>
<p>The soundtrack is awesome, too, and there are several nods to the TV series and such. XD</p>
<p>i havent seen the movie..but this is one of the wittiest books i have ever read...Adams os a genius</p>
<p>I lik e the whole series, i have the hardcover collection. I recommend the book to everyone..i hope the movie is entertaining but I doubt it will live up to expectation</p>
<p>I heard about it from some friends at another site, got the first book from the library, fell in love with it, and bought the big "bible" book with all of them.</p>
<p>I can't wait to see the movie.</p>
<p>I don't know this cheese of which you speak</p>
<p>The sappy love scenes were very.....sappy indeed</p>
<p>They screwed up the restaurant at the end of the universe bit but overall I was very pleased, they even included the sperm whale, which was my favorite part.</p>
<p>That's the cheese of which I spoke, Dima343.</p>
<p>The general consensus so far is that people who read and loved the books loved it, people who read and disliked the books hated it, and people who didn't read the books were totally lost.</p>
<p>Eh, oh well -- I knew when it was released at the 'secondary' theater in town (the one that plays off-the-big-screen cult favorites on the big screen on the weekends) it was destined to be a cult favorite and not much of a blockbuster on the mass-media scale. I'm still holding out hope that it pulls #1 in the box office this weekend, and I highly recommend that everyone read the books and then go see the movie, even if you've already done one or both of those. :D</p>
<p>So long, and thanx for all the fish!</p>
<p>I wish they'd do the whole series but I doubt it's happening because:
a) it's just not going to make enough money
b) they went to the wrong end of the universe at the end to get to the restaurant, they went to the physical end when the restaurant is in fact at the end of time</p>
<p>I haven't seen it yet (today at 3:30), but I loved the book. Also, the marvin from the tv series is supposed to make a cameo</p>
<p>For those of you who've read the book, would you recommend it to someone who does NOT like British comedy?</p>
<p>Does it even have anything to with British comedy or anything of the like?</p>
<p>The movie did not ruin the book or anything at all. </p>
<p>It was AMAZING. There's really not much more to it than that. </p>
<p>However: if you haven't read the book, don't see the movie. If you loved the book, go see the movie. </p>
<p>The end of the universe is the one thing they messed up. The question is now whether or not they'll make the next book a movie.</p>
<p>mosby, I think the book is British comedy but I'm getting that from the following formula:</p>
<p>The book is written by Douglas Adams (A Brit)
It's comedy
I happen to like British Comedy
I happen to like the book</p>
<p>therefore, logically, it's British Comedy.</p>
<p>Of course, I could be completely wrong but that is what I think and what I think is that.
Goodnight.</p>
<p>I have trouble identifying what exactly people call "British comedy." Is there something wrong with it? Is it substantially different from regular comedy, or is it just comedy-as-we-know-it with accents and funny looking men? Quirky = Britcom?</p>
<p>Eh. Well, I happen to enjoy Britcom, so I guess I'd have a hard time divorcing myself from that and looking at H2G2 as anything in particular. Maybe you could enlighten me as to what about Britcom you dislike and I can tell you if H2G2 is heavy in it. ^^</p>
<p>I just got home from seeing Kung Fu Hustle and The Hitchhiker's Guide back-to-back. Both of the movies were both awesome and hilarious, and all of you should go see both of them. Although if you have to pick one, go with the Hitchhiker's Guide.</p>
<p>Oh, and Alan Rickman definitely stole the movie.</p>
<p>The Hitchiker's Guide is more British than smog.</p>
<p>I did finally see it and I liked it. I was very happy that it was another version of the stroyline instead of attempting to carbon copy the book. I loved alan rickman as marvin. Though most of the characters were evry well cast (my friend, a paranoid hitchhiker fan, loved martin freeman as arthur, thought ford was interesting, and was like... I don't know where they found zaphod... but I'm happy they did).</p>
<p>I loved the book when i read it. But I'm beginning to think that I didn't read a complete book. The book that i read was about the size of an average AP English book. When I went to Barnes and Noble the other day, i saw one that was about the size of a Childrens Dictionary, and it had the exact same cover. Now some people are talking about more than one book in the novel...is that true? I really want to see the movie, but i don't want to feel lost, or spoil the book if i have't read the whole thing!!!</p>
