hitchhiker's guide not so great
Then again, I didn't expect it to be. You can't shove all those books into an hour and fifty minutes and expect people to "get" it, and if they don't "get" it then it's just one of those films that my buddy calls "a fine, fine film." For instance,
Dumb & Dumber is an example of a fine, fine film. Then again, she considers
Starship Troopers to be a fine, fine film and it's one of my all-time favorites so...what was I saying? Oh yes:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is not so good.
However:
- Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, good job
- Mos Def as Ford Prefect, good job (I like him a lot)
- John Malkovich as Humma Kavula, very good
- Sam Rockwell as Zaphod Beeblebrox, good
- Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin...outstanding! And I do care.
- Zooey Deschanel as Trillian, not my favorite
I would rather have gone to see
Sin City.
