Has anyone seen the movie yet, it is so funny, even with the american actors, this is a pure British film full of funny quotes and supreme acting, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and it's only a PG.
My favourite character has to be Marvin.

"I am so depressed".

And Stephen Fry is the narrator . So anyones views on the movie/book etc..

[Dazz]

I havn't seen it but on a model citizen trip they went to see that movie.

My brother said that it was horrible, but he thinks that everything that doesn't have "neko-girls" (whatever that is) in it is horrible

I loved it, it could only be a british film, if you had heard the original radio series, or read the books based on the series you would see how classically british the humor is - they obviously had to change a few things for the big screen, but all in all a great film

I've always loved marvin, "life, loath it or ignore it, you can't like it"

[Kimoflea]

I didn't think you would like it Lee I've just got back from seeing it, and it really is brilliant.
I'm so glad that they didn't change the book too much.. besides Ford, and that awful American woman I think Zaphod was pretty sexy.. they should have had Bill Bailey for the second head.. but having BB as a sperm whale was good enough for me

Mabye it wants to be freinds with me. Hello ground -thud-. Rofl.

So funny.

[Bahbuu]

I didn see it yet.. and I'm not british.. but the trailer looks AWESOME...

probably gonna see .. but will non-british understand? lol

[Frizzle]

It's just a British thing, I mean...aww it's hard to explain. I know what you mean Analogue, sometimes I was like what the hell, and was bored..but then it came back with some things and I was like...laughing my head off.

I can't wait to see it, The Hitch Hiker's Guide is one of my favourite books. Douglas Adams, the author, also wrote the 'Meaning of Liff' - he took weird place names around the world and gave them meanings. For instance:

AFFPUDDLE (n.)
A puddle which is hidden under a pivoted paving stone. You only know it's there when you step on the paving stone and the puddle shoots up your leg.

BAUMBER (n.)
A fitted eleasticated bottom sheet which turns your mattress bananashaped.

TEGUCIGALPA (n.)
An embarrassing mistake arising out of confusing the shape of something rather rude with something perfectly ordinary when groping for it in the darkness. A common example of a tegucigalpa is when a woman pulls a packet of Tampax out of her bag and offers them around under the impression that it is a carton of cigarettes.

THRUPP (vb.)
To hold a ruler on one end on a desk and make the other end go bbddbbddbbrrbrrrrddrr.

I think the humour is quite British...

Oh, and by the way, the humour in Douglas Adams' works kinda reminds me of the humour in Red Dwarf, in a way - which is seriously awesome, by the way - does anyone whatch that?

[Frizzle]

Oh oh Fox, I do sometimes. So funny.

[Fox]

Oh oh Fox, I do sometimes. So funny.

Glad someone else agrees! Chris Barrie plays Rimmer so well, he's got some really funny facial expressions that just say 'Rimmer'.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic... back to Hitch Hiker's Guide.

Please tell me the flowerpot is in the film..?

[Kimoflea]

I like Red Dwarf Fox.. flowerpot- bowl of petunias?

[Fox]

Yup. It's in the film, right? Please say it's in the film... the whale is nothing without it...  :ermm:

[Typhoon]

I'm reading the book as I type, whatching the TV series tonight on BBC2 (11:20) and seeing the film on Friday.

[Ashaide]

This has just come in as the top number one film.. went to the top of the film charts.. I do want to see this.. Going to read a review

[Frizzle]

And what was going through the mind of the petunias?
"Oh not again". Rofl, yup it's in there.

[Fox]

Yay!

Oh, I can't wait to see it. Will have to persuade my dad to take me. He'll want to see it anyway.

[Kimoflea]

I like this version of zaphod.. he has yeti boots

[Frizzle]

I think I have an id..-slap-. Best film ever.

[eventwilight]

hmmm...kingdom of heaven...orlando bloom...guess I'll have to see that one. still need to see hitchikers though, I'm a little scared though with all the mixed reviews I've been hearing on it. they should have had all british actors for the earthlings. eh, rambling opinion, sorry!

I think you have to be in a group to appreciate the film any further.

With Kingdom of Heaven to come out, Hitchhikers won't stay at the top for long.

[Frizzle]

Tell me you didn't miss the Petunias?

[Typhoon]

Ugh, after reading the book I didn't like the film. The story was 60% changed. Stupid.
I like Marvin though
