After reading the book, I'll admit I am a little disappointed with some of the bits they missed out, although I still think it's great. The whole Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy thing is very me - I love the random weirdness of it all. DNA has to be the most brilliant genius that ever existed (although Joss is also very genius-like). I just love everything about it. I have to admit though after seeing more of the series I definitely prefer the film Trillian (the TV series one was so annoying) and Marvin (his brain is actually the size of a planet and Alan Rickman is just brilliant - he brought the manic-depressive robot to life and he actually sounded depressed - as opposed to just robot-like).
Anyway, that's just my opinion.
Oh, and Sam Rockwell was amazing!

As a long time fan of the Radio broadcast and then the books and then the mini-series, Id have to say the movie was a bit of a dissapointment.
Was it bad? No, im sure if i had limited exposure to DNA's work i'd have thought it was hilarious. (and they did add some stuff that had me laughing pretty hard)
The casting was great and the effects were fantastic, but it all felt a bit rushed to me. And I really could have done without the love story element.
There were a few nods to the old fans, enough to keep me happy.
(did anyone notice that the robot in que at the Vogon office was Marvin from the mini-series? I was laughing my butt off with everyone staring at me during that one.)
