Heather and I caught a midnight showing of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy last night. Since I have yet to read the book it was adapted from I can’t comment on how accurate the translation to film was. Taken by itself I found the film to be an enjoyable romp through Douglas Adams universe. My only complaint was that the actual plot was rather light and a number of threads were left dangling. In spite of the plotting problems the movie was still enjoyable – the actor playing Zaphod stole the show with his over the top performance.
