Still searching for the Question ...

We all know that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42, but what is the question?

Chaucey and I went to see "Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe" tonight - my worst fear was giving Hitchhikers to Hollywood would destroy the zany wit of the story. No fear, the story is pretty much retold as it is in the book, although some bits are missing, other bits are expanded, and other bits are completely missing. (If that makes any sense!)

It does follow the book more closely than the TV series. (Watch out for the cameos!) It's franticly told, but those not familiar with the story may fall behind.

We both enjoyed it, and recommend it to every existing fan. And to all non-fans.

P.S. Don't leave when the credits start, wait until the end!

  • Surprisingly good. I would give it a solid three, maybe three and a half out of five. The Beeblebrox character is true to the TV version - all that cocky, egotistical winking and smirking it was disturbingly similar to the behaviour of the supposed leader of the free world. Would the galaxy vote for him?
