Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Went to see HHGTTG on the weekend - went in with pretty low expectations (the adverts we had seen looked pretty lame). Was actually pleasantly surprised.

Remember that this screenplay was written by Douglas Adams himself - he had been trying to get a movie version made for nearly 25 years.

It’s not a reproduction of the radio or TV series or the books - the storyline is roughly the same, but there are some divergences (they did have a time limit in the movie format).

I think if people go to see it expecting it to be like the books or the series - they will be a bit disappointed. Just watch it for what it is - a movie of its own right.

I must admit that there were some bits that most people who haven’t read the books or seen/heard the series will probably just not get, but it’s just a typically zany British comedy really.

I think it’s worth the effort - really quite a sweet movie, and quite a bit of fun.

We especially liked the intro - hillarious.

… and don’t forget to stick around through the credits - there’s a little bit more for those people (like me) who remember Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and always stick around just in case !
