The Rottentomatoes rating is 63% and climbing. I'll have to check the local theatre to see if they have it. I must admit, Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin just may be worth the price of admission... "By Grabthar's Hammer, I'm so depressed!"

I saw it yesterday, and I thought they did a really good job of translating the book to the screen. Whoever wrote that review obviously doesn't 'get it'. If you liked the book(s), don't hesitate to go see the movie.

I loved the movie. It makes me want to go out and read the book.

One of my favorite parts was teh infinite probability drive...

I saw the movie today and I have to say that I really thought it was not that good. Honestly it just seemed to british humor based for my tastes. Sorry guys, I cannot endorse this movie and would recommend that people wait to rent it on cheap $0.99 DVD nite at block buster or something.

On the back of that ringing endorsement I plan to see the movie as soon as possible. Being British myself it should be perfectly to my tastes
