Review of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) by Nickh. — 13 Sep 2005

Now, I loved this movie, I personally think it's going to go down as the most underrated movie of the year. Sam Rockwell was great and I really enjoyed the quirky sense of humor (aka British comedy).

I wasn't let down because I knew the only way this movie would live up to the books was if they made three or more films (Hollywood wouldn't take that much of a risk on HGttG) - kudos to the crew for making such a great, fun, and self-contained film that captured the zest and inventive nature of the original novel.

I'm sure Adams would like it.
