I liked it, but not a whole lot. Honestly, Adams is great, but we've heard this story a trillion times; I kind of wish they had strayed *more* from the source.
I'm sure the book was probably better (never read it) but enough of the wacky imagination was infused into the movie to create a clever and mildly entertaining romp through the universe. The cast is competent and amusing as well
