Its a romantic comedy and oddly enough the funniest bits were not from the books. The movies runs like champ for a while but just completely runs out of steam around the last third. There seems to be a lot of play with exposition and wackiness in the beginning, but tying up the story at the end felt rushed and messy. Its funny (with the exception of Marvin, the paranoid android), but if you're not a big Douglas Adams fan you might want to watch the cheap matinee show or wait for the DVD. My biggest complaint probably has to be that I could barely hear Mos Def's dialogue, a lot of which had to do with the guide and the towel. Half the time he just seemed to be doing unrelated bizzare things with towels in the background. See also: BBC background piece on the HHGG franchise.
