Blargh... I finally got to see HHGTTG last night. I can easily say that I was very dissapointed. Not with the screenplay, and not with the actors, but more because it just lost that classic Douglas Adams charm. For instance, in the book, you get the fabulous line,

"'Ford,' said Arthur, 'You're turning into a penguin. Stop it.'"

Sadly, there was no penguin transformation, or any of the other hilarious witty parts from the book. However, I did find Marvin to be the best thing ever. Everything about him was hilarious. How he walked from the depression, he was all in all the best thing about it. I was actually saddened when he 'died.' Hilarious conclusion too, thanks to Marvin as well. I'd suggest seeing it if you haven't read the books in a long while, but otherwise, wait to rent it at blockbuster. Now I've just got to get my hands on the television version.
