Bill Nighy's Slartibartfast was the best acting in this movie (he is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors). Alan Rickman's spot-on Marvin was also brilliant. Everyone else seemed like they were just going thorugh the paces. Zooey Dachshund or whatever her name is has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, but that was about it.

I thought the pacing was really good. They did some of the tangential explanation wackiness from the books, but kept it limited to making a silly joke and then moving on with the plot.

The effects were done very well. Very appealing from a visual perspective.

As far as the plot goes, you really can't nitpick this one at all. The only major complaint I have is the forced love interest. Hollywood never ceases to infuriate me by brute-forcing love story elements into source material that contains no love story elements.

The bottom line is that it was funny, entertaining, visually excellent (especially Trillian, yowza), and well-paced. Overall I enjoyed it.

3.5
