Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C-
"Keep your expectations as low as Marvin the Paranoid Android and maybe its bits of Monty Pythonesque humor will shine through the clunkiness."
Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"Fans will blanch at nearly everything — from the joke-killing theme song to a plot sellout that's too demoralizing to even discuss."
Dayton Daily News: B-
"The Hitchhiker's Guide still plays best on radio or the printed page, where your imagination is given free rein. But the film version isn't bad, especially compared to the BBC TV series or, even worse, Vogon poetry."
The Middletown Journal: C+
"Even though I laughed at many of the jokes and admired the very British quirkiness of the story, it's a major problem when every single one of the humanoid characters, save two, are either dull as dust or annoying as nails on a blackboard."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"Even at its uneven moments, it was fascinatingly weird enough, in a touching, breathlessly droll way, that made it impossible not to love. And I don't love much."
