Don't Panic!

It's all OK.

H2G2 The Movie is good. I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't know the radio series off by heart. For those who've just read the book, I'm sure that it would be more enjoyable.

The storyline makes a lot more sense than the originals; but, then, that was part of their charm.

There are some very nice touches, and the Knitting Director should be very proud. There are a couple of references to the TV show, and Simon Jones - the original Arthur Dent in the Radio & TV series' - here playing a ... well, I won't spoil it - steals the show with what was for me and my compatriots the best joke of the movie.

So, yes. Absolutely. Go see now. That's an order.

I totally want to see this film! Looking forward to it, but I think that Marvin seems a little too.... cute??

I want my very own Marvin now - a little Marvin action figure, perhaps, with moveable head and limbs and when you press his tummy he says things. It would be lovely! You'll get me one, won't you, you darling darling man? x
