Telegraph Reviews Hitchhiker Movie, Approves
LPetrazickis writes "The Telegraph has reviewed the movie adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The review notes that the film is every bit as much a loving tribute to Douglas Adams as it is a joyous comedy. American actors acquit themselves well, and the sense of intelligent wonder transfers well to the technicolour screen. The many incarnations of The Guide are summarized at the end."

Most of the book's best lines and situations survive. The phrase "Don't Panic!" is liberally sprinkled around, "42" is still the answer to the ultimate question, Arthur still can't quite get the hang of Thursdays - and a towel, a manic-depressive android and a whale falling from the sky all make important appearances.

If you think the BBC series "simply rocks", you are delusional, plain and simple. I love the series, but I'm not going to lie to myself- the BBC series was painful to watch.

Well she was, in a way. In H2G2 Arthur had been trying to chat Trillian up before Phil (AKA Zaphod) whisked her away from under his nose.
Then perhaps you should watch it before slating it. The film DOES contain the gargleblaster and even shows it being made, plus towels feature aplenty.
Actually it really was possible to complete (there are various walkthroughs floating the web, and the game is hosted also somewhere) it just had several problems: There were some mistakes you could make easily which never showed until the last third of the game. The game basically was unforgiving in that area by simply not giving any warning but letting you play further.
