This is a hilarious movie for those fans of the British comedy genre. It offers wit and hilarity at every turn and fits quite nicely with the books. The previously reviewer didn't give you much to go on (doesn't surprise me) and leaves out the great acting as well as the iimaginative storyline.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: The extras, wish there were more

I've been a fan of this movie for years, really glad it finally came out on Blu-Ray! Just a very fun movie to watch! I was so happy to hear that Martin Freeman (Arthur Dent in the movie) is supposed to be playing Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movie adaptation!
What's great about it: Hilariously Fun!
What's not so great: Wish it was a 3 hour movie :-)

Fans of the books by Douglas Adams will love this movie -- and you have to be a fan, or at least have read the books, in order to make any sense of the movie. The movie tries to cover all 5 books in under 2 hours and so the pace is breakneck. The actors do a good job with their characters, especially Sam Rockwell as President Zaphod Beeblebrox (you can believe that he would be the 'best bang since the big one') and Alan Rickman as the morose Marvin the Paranoid Android (I can't imagine anyone else being Marvin after hearing Mr. Rickman's version.) Mos Def and Martin Freeman play well off of each other and Zooey Deschanel is really good as the cute-yet-zany Trillian. What makes this movie good to watch has to be the special effects. I, personally, like the BBC Video version better as they had a little more time to explore and clarify the story of the 5 books. However, with the advances in modern CGI techniques, this movie is much better, which is to be expected. The scene where Slartibartfast takes everyone through the 'planetary production line' is alone worth the price of the DVD. Extras on the DVD like the Fake Deleted Scenes and the Sing Along to 'Thanks for all the Fish' are definitely pluses and the two separate audio commentaries are worth watching. However, I must once again caution that unless you are familiar with the books, you will lose most of the jokes and probably your patience with the story jumping leaps and bounds. But for the fans, this is definitely recommended.

While I know many people who don't like this movie, it is a must in my house. We all know it by heart. Personally, I don't think it would bea great movie for a religious person, as Douglas Adams was not and it is obvious in this movie.
What's great about it: It's Douglas Adams. It can't be bad.
