I feel the same way - I haven't decided whether I liked it or not.
On the plus side:
- it captures the 'feel' of the books
- the opening sequence where the dolphins leave Earth is great
- the guy from The Office who plays Arthur is perfect in the role
- Zaphod Beebelbrox's second head looks awesome
On the negative side:
- it's not funny! I chuckled a few times, but its hardly laugh-out-loud material
- the plot is pretty sloppy, it just wanders along. Heaven knows what a non-Douglas Adams fan would make of it
- no-one explains why a towel is the most incredibly useful item in the galaxy
- my wife fell asleep in the middle of it!
Hitchikers fans will probably enjoy it, but newbies will be left cold.
