Eric Gunnerson has hit the nail on the head with his Hitchhikers review.
I didn't think it was bad. It was average. It was a homage to itself.
I love Tim from the Office playing Arthur Dent. Ford Prefect wasn't great, and Zaphod really was bad. I never envision him as a dumb texan, but rather as somewhat cool (why would Trillian go for the idiot!).
The biggest problem was that it really wasn't that funny. I was into it at the beginning, but it got a bit boring over time, and it missed many of the great lines/parts.
However, it is a BLOODY hard task to put this on the screen, so all in all they didn't do a bad job.
