Don't Panic...
...it is all you dreamed it could be.
Is it the original radio play brought to life word-for-word with the faithfulness of Sin
City? No. Do some of the reviews on line have a point? Yes. But, as my good friend Glenn said as the preview showing's credits scrolled to a close: "They imposed a more conventional narrative structure - but that's hardly a criticism!" or as another friend said "Given the constraints of making a movie people who haven't read the books will watch? Get over it."
Or, as another friend said: "I never read the books, and I enjoyed it."
Go see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And have fun!
