This movie knows where its towel is
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of this movie: You may be hesitant to see this movie at all. After all, many people remain faithful to the radio series, read the books cover to cover a squillion times and think the TV series was alright. First, the bad news. Even putting aside the poor way Zaphod's two heads and three arms were portrayed, Sam Rockwell just isn't a Beeblebrox. Many of the jokes, including the popular entry on Vogons in the guide, were left uncompleted from the original stories and so weren't as funny. Now, the good news. Stephen Fry was the book. Really, he WAS the book. Martin Freeman did such a good job, that Arthur Dent could pass off as a real person. The Warwick Davis/Alan Rickman Marvin was simply tremendous and could not have been done better. Given that Douglas Adams himself wrote this script, this should appeal to the fans and the unhitch-hiked alike. See also, VOGONS, ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX and CUSTARD
