Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer

Rollerbob writes "MJ Simpson, who has 'been studying and documenting the life and career of Douglas Adams for more than 20 years', has written a very in-depth review and plot analysis of the Hitchhiker's movie. As well as the full review that contains SPOILERS , he has also published a shortened spoiler-free version, as well as a list of things from the radio plays, records, books and TV series that have not been included in the movie. Hitchhiker's fans, prepare to be like Marvin ... very depressed."

What did you expect?

Really, was it realistic to expect them to include everything?

If you want something that follows the book exactly try the BBC series - or, *gasp*, reading the books.

The real question is - what they did include - did they do that well? Is it a good MOVIE. Personally, I am willing to pay $10 to find out.
