Advantages: True to the book

Disadvantages: Lacking humor

The new adaptation to the wonderful book.

I think it is rather difficult to make a movie from such a popular book, whatever you do, people will always say, "Oh, it was OK, but the book was better", and I'll have to say, Oh, it was OK but......!

The movie followed the events of the book rather strictly, much more than most adaptions manage! Unfortunately the one and only thing they didn't quite manage to translate over was the jokes. I'm not quite sure why but the jokes worked so well in a book, but just didn't have the same impact in movie form.

PLOT

The movie follows Arther Dent. A normal, everyday human whose best friend happens to be an alien. Not that he knows that. When the earth is destroyed they both manage to escape. They have several adventures in space before looking for the lost planet..

SUMMARY

If you are a fan of the book, give it a shot. It is not bad at all, just not very funny
