DOUGLAS ADAMS = GENIUS!!!

STORY: 6.5/7
Honestly, this book (that the movie is based on) is PURE BRILLIANCE!! You really HAVE TO read it.

ACTING: 5/7
Mos Def is so much fun and Martin Freeman is cute and weird and funny as Arthur Dent. The one to watch though, is Zooey Deschanel. I freaking love her!


OVERALL: 6/7

Douglas Adams is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
The Hitch Hikers book series is undoubtedly one o fthe best things i've EVER read.

STORY: 7/7
Arthur Dent is a regular guy, trying to stop the local council from knocking down his house to build a by-pass. Luckily for him, his best friend Ford Prefect shows up and takes him away before the entire PLANET is destroyed for the creation of an inter-stellar by-pass. Ford, of course, isn't actually from earth, he is from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.

Lots of stuff happens, you really have to read it / see it.

ACTING: 3/7
The acting on this BBC mini-series is actually quite dissapointing. It's the majority of the original cast of the radio show, but they simply aren't very good on screen.

I'm not exactly sure what else there is to be said.
It's just a totally brilliant story.

OVERALL: 5.5/7


READ THE BOOKS!

you WILL NOT be dissapointed!
