"The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" is an enjoyable sci-fi romp with a strong twist of self-effacing British raillery that children of all ages will get a charge from.

The problem is not that the film debases the book but that movies themselves are too capacious a home for such comedy, with its tea-steeped English musings and its love of bitty, tangential gags.

Galaxy is good enough to keep you rooting for it, but the mode of transport needs fresher points and plugs.

It's hard to dislike a movie in which one of the heroes gets brain power from lemon juice.

While it won't win any awards, it's fun as a time killer.

Adams would be pleased.

[It has] visual goofiness and flights of thespian bravura.

Fans of the book will probably be a little disappointed, but anyone encountering the Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time should be thoroughly entertained. It is very strange and very funny in a way that Adams' work exemplified.

Although Hitchhiker starts out a total gas, it doesn't have enough fuel to sustain the ride, ultimately amounting to little more than some amusing gags strung together in search of a story.

Considering all the things that could have gone wrong in the making of this picture, it's a minor miracle that it turned out as well as it did.

[The movie] captures the quizzical, quasi-spiritual nature of [Adams'] book and manages to nail a surprising number of his dry little jokes, even some that you think could work only on the page.
