synopsis
Earthman Arthur Dent is having a very bad day. His house is about to be bulldozed, he discovers that his best friend is an alien and to top things off, Planet Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur's only chance for survival: hitch a ride on a passing spacecraft. For the novice space traveler, the most astonishing adventure in the universe begins when the world ends. Arthur sets out on a journey in which he finds that nothing is as it seems: he learns that a towel is just the most useful thing in the universe, finds the meaning of life, and discovers that everything he needs to know can be found in one book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, a strange concoction brewed of part GALAXY QUEST and part STAR WARS, is based on Douglas Adams's novel of the same name, cult followers of which packed our screening. They certainly liked it, but I sure didn't. With wacky and imaginative sci-fi humor that is really out there, the movie is one that you can't help admire, even if you, like me, end up slumped in your seat, just staring at it.
