If you're into these type of movies. I believe there is an original as well and a book!

Finally watched this movie after all these years and had to get it for the collection

I really love being able to order my favorite movies online.

This was a requested gift. I never heard of it before. I have not used it

This is a classic! Great cast and great story. Almost as good as vogon poetry.

The book cannot be beat but this is a great take on a classic book.

This was a great book, but the movie is a little off. Still good though

My daughter loved this movie. The book was really good

Great to finally own this movie. Best buy sent it very fast.

Fans of the books by Douglas Adams will love this movie -- and you have to be a fan, or at least have read the books, in order to make any sense of the movie. The movie tries to cover all 5 books in under 2 hours and so the pace is breakneck. The actors do a good job with their characters, especially Sam Rockwell as President Zaphod Beeblebrox (you can believe that he would be the 'best bang since the big one') and Alan Rickman as the morose Marvin the Paranoid Android (I can't imagine anyone else being Marvin after hearing Mr. Rickman's version.) Mos Def and Martin Freeman play well off of each other and Zooey Deschanel is really good as the cute-yet-zany Trillian. What makes this movie good to watch has to be the special effects. I, personally, like the BBC Video version better as they had a little more time to explore and clarify the story of the 5 books. However, with the advances in modern CGI techniques, this movie is much better, which is to be expected. The scene where Slartibartfast takes everyone through the 'planetary production line' is alone worth the price of the DVD. Extras on the DVD like the Fake Deleted Scenes and the Sing Along to 'Thanks for all the Fish' are definitely pluses and the two separate audio commentaries are worth watching. However, I must once again caution that unless you are familiar with the books, you will lose most of the jokes and probably your patience with the story jumping leaps and bounds. But for the fans, this is definitely recommended.

This is an awesome movie. Glad I could get it in Blu-ray.

This is a hilarious movie for those fans of the British comedy genre. It offers wit and hilarity at every turn and fits quite nicely with the books. The previously reviewer didn't give you much to go on (doesn't surprise me) and leaves out the great acting as well as the iimaginative storyline. So long and thanks for all the fish!
