The biggest problem was the cutting for time. Part of what made Adams' original works so funny was the completely insane and over-the-top exchanges between various people - like Arthur and the construction foreman. They have a long conversation about how the plans were supposedly on display. In the movie Arthur just says he had to "go to the basement" to find them. That's not funny, it just falls flat.

I think if they had worried less about running long and kept more of the dialog in the movie it would have been infinitely better.


3/5.
