The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Reaction

Not good. Douglas Adams's dry British wit didn't translate well to screen; many good scenes were simply voice-overs. (Monty Python did manage to translate, so I know it can be done.) I think many jokes were simply included because they needed to be but were not given enough screen time to shine (or in a few cases even manage to be understandable). I entirely missed many references during the movie, only getting them later from the commentary track.
