Product Description Here's the absolutely hysterical, wonderfully wild, cosmic adventure comedy THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Based on Douglas Adams' worldwide best-selling novel, and starring an outrageous intergalactic cast, this is one ride you don't want to miss. Seconds before Earth is destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace express route, mild-mannered Arthur Dent is whisked into space by his best friend (an alien posing as an out-of-work actor). And so the misadventures begin as he and fellow travelers, including the cool but dim-witted President of the Galaxy, the Earth girl Trillian, and Marvin the paranoid android, search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Review "Every bit as smart and funny as the book that inspired it!" -- STEVE OLDFIELD/FOX TV"Four Stars" -- TODD DAVID SCHWARTZ/CBS RADIO"It should do for British sci-fi what Shaun Of The Dead did for British horror." -- JAMIE RUSSELL/BBC.CO.UK"It s firmly rooted in the grand tradition of English absurdity bounded by Lewis Carroll and Monty Python." -- JAY CARR/AM NEW YORK" a massively epic and wonderfully improbable trip " -- DESSON THOMSON/THE WASHINGTON POST Review: Cool movie - Coll quirky move Great to watch Review: Another take on one of my favorite Books/TV shows: Hitchhiker's Guide is still a good laugh - I'm a Douglas Adams fan from way, way back: read all the books in the Hitchhiker's series as well as everything else he wrote, watched the TV show, listened to the radio program. I love the Hitchhiker's Guide best, read it in high school and I am such a nerdy gal that I had to get me a towel, which I carried in my backpack all times (but then, I also carried a Tribble key ring and a Dr. Who - Tom Baker scarf that I knitted myself ... ). So, let's take it as read that I couldn't wait to see the movie. I was excited when I heard it was in the works, read the updates and production notes, and actually went to the theatre, in a snowstorm in upstate New York, the night it opened. I watch it on video whenever I can, and I've gotten my kids hooked on it, they think it's really funny, too. Highlights: Sam Rockwell was absolutely over the top as Zaphod Veeblebrox, Mos Def as Ford Prefect was just crazy enough to telegraph alien, as in 'not from around here', and Alan Rickman as Marvin the Paranoid Android was SOOO pained and put out ... I felt the movie was more like how I imagined the characters and their interactions when I read the books; but then, the budget for the movie was much better, so that Mr. Adams could do things the way he wanted. I didn't care for Zoey Deschanel as Trillian, but she always comes across to me like someone stoned out of her head, even when she's excited. I know there are lot of people out there who didn't care for the movie because the story wasn't exactly like the television program (also have heard it described as dumb, disjointed, confusing), but they don't know the history of how the story was revised and rewritten over the years to change the emphasis, that it was all meant to (in whatever version you may have first experienced it) point out some of the more absurd, small everyday things in British life (like the die-hard daytripper - Ford - for example) or maybe it's a simple as, they don't get British humor. It can be an acquired taste, after all. In any case, Doug Adams didn't intend for the movie to be just like the book or the TV show, or the radio programs, rather, he wanted the viewer to see the same story from a different viewpoint than the last retellng. He developed the movie concept and wrote the script himself, before he died, and interviews he gave, he stated that he wanted to focus on parts of the story he felt were glossed over or left out in the radio and tv versions, details that were important to him and to many of the long-time fans. He also stated that he especially did not want to cover well-worn ground. I'd say he did a good job on that score.

Another take on one of my favorite Books/TV shows: Hitchhiker's Guide is still a good laugh

Good representation, with 42 minor inaccuracies...
A good respresentation of Douglas Adams' work. Add to that Zooey Deschanel and you've got the perfect synergy! Fun movie!

Good production
Somehow, this movie made me feel happy. I haven't read the book, and I didn't realize it was based on a novel, but it seems to me that it was made well. If you're a sci-fi fan, it's worth watching, and the cast is superb!

Don't Forget to Bring a Towel
Great movie. It kept true to the book. I wish they had made all six books into a movie instead of stopping at the first book only.

Confirmo que la edición UK tiene audio castellano. Edición inédita en España. La imagen y el sonido es genial. La película es una mezcla de ciencia ficción y humor absurdo, pero es muy buena, aunque difícil de recomendar. A mí me encanta.

When i went to see this movie on the first day of release i was really looking forward to it as i have the original 1981 tv version on DVD the most part that really attracted me to this was the casting of athur Martin Freeman is great i remember him as Tim in the office but this is a very different type of character also Bill Nighey plays a great part as well this a must see movie and i cant beleive how many people are critising it for the story it keeps up to the original concept although there is many changes but everything is still there also Mos Def plays a great ford and if people didnt realise he dosent have to be played by an english actor because he is suppose to be from a different planet anyway i really laughed at the opening sequence where the dolphins shot off into the air after failing to warn mankind of our doom at the hands of the vogons Sam Rockwell played a great Zaphod and i hope they make a sequel as we know that the restaraunt at the end of the universe is still to come and it would be sad to see them leave it open i had to reserve this title as i saw the film at the cinema twice and loved it. great film and a must have!!!!!!

El humor británico no es para todos los gustos. Esta es una gran película y la edición en particular cuenta con doblaje y subtítulos en español.

Pues lo que dicen los compis... La peli viene en perfecto castellano, eso sumado a que en España no se ha editado en BD y a que cuesta a penas 7€ hace que sea una compra casi obligada
