Review of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) by Aimee B — 19 Aug 2012

This movie has a very narrow audience. In order to be part of that audience, you most likely can understand dry humor, have strong comparisons to the lead characters, often over-analyze movies, and, above all else, are willing to look at things from a different perspective.

I personally have never read the book, but I just got the movie's humor and very numerous foreshadowings or references to other parts of itself. The movie does an especially good job of making it feel like the lead character, Aurthur Dent, is the only person in the film with his unique perspective on life.

Although the movie's question to life the world and everything was thoroughly predictable, it truly is the greatest question that any human has thus far seemed to grasp.
