IF YOU'RE CRIPPLED, DON'T COME TO MY GOON MEETS. I'LL TOSS YOUR CRUTCHES IN THE LAKE
I've enjoyed all of the books but came away extremely disappointed from this movie. As soon as I heard the introductory song I was convinced that the movie was going to walk a fine line between entertaining and forced comedy the entire way through. Unfortunately, for me it more frequently fell on the side of seeming forced. Trillian in particular really rubbed me the wrong way, and the entire love subplot was worthless. I'd say that the movie seemed to work too hard to appeal to all audiences, but then I realize that the books weren't all that different. Ultimately, I think that everyon's better off reading the books and letting it play out in their imagination instead of trying to see this as a substitute. There's nothing gained by the transfer to film and it sadly turned out as bad as I hoped it wouldn't be.

1.5/5 for the fact that at least I did laugh maybe one or two times.
