Is that a real poncho...I mean is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Well, mabye I'm more predjudiced than I should be, as I was literally fresh off from the books to watching this movie. The beginning with the dolphin song bugged me, it seemed pretty corny, and a bad way to start off the movie.

However, that wasn't even my main beef with the movie. I do realize that Douglas Adams writing style is not easy to translate into a movie. But what they did was create a seperate story that runs off by itself, tying into the books only here and there. The whole part with Zaphod losing his head, Humma Kavula, and especially, the Trillian and Arthur love interest, which seemed to emerge as the main plot point near the end of the movie.

Overall though, I got a few good laughs out of it. I think the actors did a good job of portraying the characters for the most part. My beef is just with what they do with the storyline. Also, for some reason, Marvin looked nothing like I imagined him to. Even though it shouldn't of, it bothered me.

My rating: 2.5/5
