Saw the Hitchhiker's GTTG. Feared the worst when it started with a "Life of Brian" - inspired musical number, but as LoB's creators might say, it got better. Still, not as funny as the book. But Ok, really. I thought the casting was above average. Trillian really should be English, but whatshername, the Debra Winger lookalike, was actually pretty convincing in the role. Oh, but Alan Rickman is one of those looks-good-on-paper choices for the robot role. Just not hilariously glum enough. It's a shame, because that was really one of the funniest things in the book... which may explain, partly, why this movie, though enjoyable, just never made me laugh that much.
And now I've got that danged theme song stuck in my head...
