Review: 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'
Not your everyday flick. By any means.
That said, very good. Hitchhiker's Guide was simultaneously silly and thought provoking. Viewers will laugh, but they might also walk out of the theater with some new views on a few subjects--the movie does have an overall point.
Excellent performances from Zooey Deschanel and Sam Rockwell--but has anyone else noticed that Mr. Rockwell always seems to play a bit of a weirdo/creep? Ms. Deschanel, however (previously seen in Elf with Will Ferrel), gives an excellent performance, with a character a bit more likeable than in her last movie; and, by the way, she's gorgeous--very nice eyes, which someone made the wise decision of accenting. Experienced moviegoers might also recognize John Malkovich and the voice of Alan Rickman, who, while an excellent dramatic actor, has also shown considerable skill with comedy. Some out there might recognize the voice of the depressed robot, but have trouble pinpointing it; his most famous role was the villain in Die Hard, but more recently, he did some more outer space comedy in the hilarious Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen.
But wait, there's more. That's right, absolutley dazzling special effects.
Overall? Very entertaining. Definitely a worthy way of passing two hours.
