Wasn't near funny enough and no action at all.


General Comments

About 5 years ago I tried to read The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and gave up because I got bored. I decided to give it another go and see the film. I'm a massive Red Dwarf fan and think that science fiction and comedy can make a great combination, but this film was just a bit too dull. There's a few funny little instances but other than the world getting destroyed in about 5 minutes nothing really happened. I was never moved from my seat with laughter or excitement. A lot of the plot and jokes were just stupid, I like a bit of off-the-wall comedy, but what's so funny about Fat Aliens reading poetry badly? Doesn't work with me. The Mrs is a big fan and really enjoyed it, through out the film I had to ask her a lot of questions because the film didn't explain everything, like were did the dolphins go and why did Ford Prefect think cars were the dominant life force when he is human in appearance and cars don't really look like animals of any kind. It wasn't all bad but I had hoped for much better and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
