C- Boston Globe Ty Burr "...not the interstellar home run it might have been." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "To me it got old fairly quickly." more... C   Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder "...there's a lot to love..." more... B   E! Online "...whether a fan or a newbie, you won't feel over the moon (and beyond) after seeing it." more... B+ filmcritic.com Christopher Null "...the random nature and the constant revisionism in the Hitchhiker's universe actually makes it sort-of work." more... B   Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "Douglas Adams' inspired Guide hits the screen with its disarmingly droll spirit quite intact." more... B   New York Post Kyle Smith "It's really an absurdist philosophical comedy that questions the meaning of life, the universe and everything (and informs us that the answer is 42)." more... B   New York Times Manohla Dargis "...hugely likable..." more... B+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "The 2005 film version of the book isn't nearly as bad as many Hitchhiker's lovers have feared. Of course, it's also not as good as it could have been." more... B- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "The movie hangs together and gets by with more than a margin of goodwill because the dazzle it offers is one of the mind." more... B+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "It's a pleasure to see and hear so much wit in a big-budget comedy..." more... B   USA Today Mike Clark "Though the journey ends on some fun notes after a sagging middle, Galaxy never fully breaks out." more... B- * Yahoo!
