The folks who pulled this movie did a great job with what they had. They did the best they could to translate the HHGTTG universe into a movie. I just don't think it was something that translated easily. The movie had some truly hilarious moments, and managed to keep some of the social commentary/satire aspects that the series was so esteemed for. The only problem is that if you haven't read the books, you'll be totally and completely lost. I enjoyed the divergences from the plot of the book as much as I enjoyed the things that stayed with it, because that keeps in spirit with the book, but regardless - having read the books seems almost mandatory unless you're really into this kind of movie. The only thing that really bugged me was trillian and arthur falling in love and zaphod finding somebody else. 3.5/5.
