We went to see The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, adopted from a book by Douglas Adams by the same title, at the dollar theatre on Tuesday (well, as close to “dollar” as we can get around here).
The story was a bit on the dry side (Grace fell asleep a couple of times at the funniest moments) though there were lots of actions and subtle British humor sprinkled all over the movie. One doesn’t have to have read the book to appreciate the story development though there were still much to be desired, such as character development.
That said, a geek can’t call himself a geek until he’s read the book. If you haven’t already, you can catch up by downloading the trilogy here (PDF 2.3MB). But if you are REALLY lazy and just want to get the gist of it, download and read A Guide to The Hitchhiker%u2019s Guide to the Galaxy (PDF 68KB) instead (you poser).
