I never had a chance to read the book, but having seen this film, I thought it was very entertaining and fun. I personally felt that this film was fairly underrated and that it didn't deserve the flack it received. I thought that the cast here delivered good performances and made the film enjoyable to watch. I
especially enjoyed Alan Rickman's performance, ands he as usual delivers a memorable role. For what it is, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an entertaining film that's pure fun from beginning to end. Though not perfect, it definitely is a good sci-fi comedy film. What makes this film worth seeing is like I said the cast. Without the cast, I don't think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would have worked. This is not a perfect film, but it has enough going on to make this a worthwhile viewing. I thought that the film was pretty funny, well acted and well directed. This is a fun sci-fi film that is different from other films in the genres, but is nonetheless an interesting addition as it's not your typical sci-fi film. The film has a good sense of strong visuals, and is fun to look at, and it's what makes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy such a good film along with its good plot. The film has some good humorous bits and this is a film that is hard not to like. A very enjoyable film even with all its flaws, it still has enough charm to appeal to a viewer looking for a different type of sci-fi film. The fact that it blends comedy into its plot is one of the reasons why this is a must see, worthwhile film that is simply lots of fun to watch.
