  • Don't Panic!! - Part Two

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 26, 2004
    Pros: It's wonderful...
    Cons: ... ... ... nope, can't think of any.

    Summary: Don’t Panic!! - possibly the best single piece of advice ever given to anyone at any time. At any rate, anyone who hasn’t seen this wonderful mini-series at any time should do so. Anyone accusing me of overusing the word any is quite ... read more

  • Don't Panic

    May 12, 2000
    Pros: Hysterical, Intelligent, True to novels
    Cons: Quality lacking, as is sound sometimes

    Summary: I recall first picking up Douglas Adams' book (adapted from the radio show) "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in high school and I'm not quite sure I've been the same since. I've read all of the five-and-half part trilogy's books and ... read more

  • The Ultimate Answer

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 25, 2000
    Pros: Outrageously funny, satire at it's best!
    Cons: A little on the long side.

    Summary: Life, the Universe, and Everything? Well, this movie answers that question in a way that you'll never forget. I originally saw this movie because I wanted to impress my boyfriend (it must've worked, he's now my husband). I was pleasantly surprised at ... read more

  • Cheesy effects don't mar the fun of 1981's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 30, 2011
    Pros: Great comedic writing by Douglas Adams; good cast
    Cons: Effects are a bit cheesy

    Summary: In the late 1970s, prompted by the success of Douglas Adams' original sci-fi/comedy radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the British Broadcasting Corporation's television department commissioned him and John Lloyd to adapt it into a ... read more

    Pros:
    Cons:

    Summary: When I heard that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was being made into a movie, I was excited. I remember having read the book many, many years ago. (I should probably read it again.) In looking around Netflix, I came across this version of The ... read more

  • Just miss the ground

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 4, 2000
    Pros: Accurate to the books, the cheap nature makes it even more funny and perfect.
    Cons: Some people don't like the cheap nature. It's just not as detailed as the novel.

    Summary: This movie just barely misses smashing itself on the ground. Originally aired as a BBC mini-series this movie is junk (but the good kind). It's grainy, the acting is less than stellar, the costumes are a joke, and they are very loyal to the Douglas ... read more

  • The end of the world is Neigh.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 19, 2000
    Pros: Great plot, really funny jokes, well written Sci-Fi
    Cons: Pretty much for fans only. Has a low budget look.

    Summary: Not everyone who sees this film is going to like it. In fact, seeing as it's about 180 minutes long, a lot of people are going to be bored to tears, but if you happen to have an attention span longer than the average gnat's wing length, and if ... read more

  • Due to an accident with a condom and a time machine

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Mar 27, 2004
    Pros: Great script(for tv, not so hot for film), Fabulous performances
    Cons: Special f/x, editing, Douglas Adams naked walking into ocean

    Summary: This particular incarnation of the Hitchhiker's Guide series must be viewed with several things in mind. First, this was filmed as a television series, not a movie. Second, it was adapted from the radio play not the book (but, then again, so was the
