You think you’ve got problems
Due to the release of HHGTTG, I thought I'd better watch it and give you my review:
Now, I am unable to compare the film with the book as I read it when I was about 12 and my memory is much like that of a Pangarion Snookleflumper that has been snookled by an ostrich. In fact I may not have been 12 at all due to said snookled memory. In any case, to compare a film with a book is slightly ridiculous as a book has words printed on paper, whereas a film has flashy moving pictures and a synchronised soundtrack, no comparison. Maybe to compare it with the radio show would be fairer, but I'm not going to.
It seems the film has been getting more than a few bad reviews, apart from a rather glowing review from Douglas Adams' brother, which in part may be due to his future wellbeing relying on its success. With this in mind I have decided to give the film a good review. It’s good; it’s really good, honest guvnor. I will not be going into any further detail as to why, as this may spoil your enjoyment of the film if you decide to watch it. There is of course the added prejudice of me liking (supposedly) bad films such as Mrs Doubtfire, Catwoman and Universal Soldier. If you would like a more comprehensive review (I believe the apt term for this is known as a ‘spoiler’) then I would suggest you go and see it, then remember the thoughts you have during the film and write them all down. Or, jump up and down 364 times while juggling 2 tomatoes and an Egyptian vase valued over 37p.
