Rating: PG
Movie Release Date: April 28, 2005 (UK) / September 29, 2005 (USA)
DVD Release Date: September 13, 2005
Plot 411: This is a space comedy based on a book of the same name that incorporates humor, space travel, aliens and destruction.
Review: Before Earth is destroyed, best friends Arthur (Martin Freeman) and Ford (Mos Def) leave the planet by hitching a ride on the destroying spaceship. Ford is an alien who has been writing a hitchhiking guide. The two friends are discovered and forced into space without any oxygen. Luckily, they are saved by Ford's half brother Zaphod (Sam Rockwell). Arthur and Ford's journey only gets weirder and weirder as they travel to distant planets with Zaphod, who is searching for the ultimate question. I swear it's better than I'm making it sound. I'm not really sure how to describe this quirky jumble of sci-fi and British humor, adventure and geekiness. All I can cay is that I loved it. Also in this film are Zooey Deschanel, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Helen Mirren and Stephen Fry. If those names don't get you to watch this one, then it's probably not a movie for you.
Watch It: Because it's smarter and funnier than you expect.
Skip It: And it's roundabout logic that only sci-fi fanboys can untangle.
