HEINEKEN!?! FUCK THAT SHIT! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!
I really wanted this movie to work. So badly. But it wasn't even halfway done before I started to wonder if I should just leave. Maybe it would get better, maybe it would start being funny. So I stuck it out the entire time and wound up feeling like I could have done something better with my hour and a half.

I love the book but that's not why I didn't like the movie. It moved too fast and glossed over the best parts of the book. The new stuff Adams wrote for the new movie just felt tired and slow. The Vogons were the main antogonist and they're just not a particularly stimulating villain. How do you make an effective bad guy out of a race whose entire agenda is being boring?

The only thing to save this review from dipping down into a 1 is Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman. But they only help a little bit.

What could have been...

This is the first time I've ever rated a movie so low here.

1.5/5
