Must not be much else interesting to talk about right now

My family and I enjoyed it. We are now shopping for a copy so my daughter can read it. I read it years ago and think I understood more of the general idea of the story better then when I read the book.

 

[ShadowKnight]

Yeah. Now that I've seen it I have to go re-read the book because the movie confused my memory of the story. I KNEW I should have just played video games at the arcade for those 2 hours I was waiting for my truck...

 

[FredGarvin]

I just saw it and it was so-so. I laughed at a few points. What made me laugh the most was watching my wife and other family members try to get their minds around the improbability drive. They were thoroughly confused. They liked "so long and thanks for all the fish" in the opening tune. What will I do with them?

A trip to Sea World may be in order.

There are a couple of good songs on the sound track that I would like to download if I could but I don't think I would spend the money for the whole CD.

 

[Sempiternity]

..but the filmakers are trying to appeal to a wider audience. They don't want to exclude children from that list

That certainly seems true. My 11-year-old sister, who's never read any of the books and is into Neopets(.com), cats, and similar things, was laughing through most of the movie, especially around the part about the sperm whale suddenly being called into existence over an alien planet =)

So what's the verdict? Should I rent it?

 

[JamesU]

Yes...rent it
