"Reason for the future sucking: One Thursday, lunchtime, Arthur Dent discovers that his house is to be immediately demolished in order to make way for a bypass. Oh, if only he went and read the plans, him and others, would be warned about this ahead of time. So long, and thanks for all the fish. Year it takes place: One Thursday, lunchtime."

"6.8/10"

“The BBC mini-series may have had a low budget, but overall it was excellent and captured the essence of the story wonderfully, which this film doesn't. The source material is so good, and deserves a much better movie and adaptation than this misfire.

The only redeeming merits are some of the effects, costume and set design(apart from the villains which were too grotesque and the Vogons look silly) and the performance of Martin Freeman. Joby Talbot's music is both good and disappointing, good in the sense of how well it is composed, disappointing in how it fitted with the film's moods.

"Re-watch - Nov. 4th The kiddo and I had agreed to have a lazy movie day in our PJ's, and I let her pick the films. What she didn't realize initially is that all three films she chose are adapted from books and set at least partly in London, which led to her questioning whether all movies she wants to see are set in the UK. Heh. We recently read the novel this film is based off of, and so she wanted to revisit the film. I'm still not thrilled with what they did to the book here, and can't help w"
