Problems in pacing. Zooey Deschanel gave the poorest performance I think, but overall the acting was okay. Pretty much like her roles in most movies, it sounds like she's apathetic when she talks. The other actors did a pretty good job keeping consitent. The one critic that many people seem to be bringing up is that they just make leaps and bounds with assumptions. Having read the book, I know these aren't assumptions assuming that someone is a fan of the book, but more that you can just fill in bits of character development. My example would be Arthur's jump from being a wuss to being a confident invidual. It just happens without any actual trial. Or how Ford and Arthur go from somewhat puzzled and amazed at Marvin to completely annoyed. These are things that don't really have a explained leading up to, they just happen in the story. It's got it's funny moments. Sam Rockwell's Bush impersonation technique is actually quite hilarious. It really adds a level of depth to the movie character. I would like to note that the movie characters are very different from the book characters, but that this isn't a bad thing. Some people criticized the BBC Marvin cameo, but I actually really enjoyed it. Rating: 3.5
