You know, I don’t think I ever got the hang of Thursdays either.
This is a movie based on a book I read all the way back in college, and it retains all of humor the book provides. It actually is alot like what would happen if the citizens of Discworld went to space.
Arthur Dent is chilling at home when his friend Ford Prefect comes running in, tells him to grab his towel, the world is ending, let’s go for a pint at the local pub. Thus begins an epic space adventure, where they run into several aliens, a depressed robot, Arthur’s potential love interest, an eccentric politician, and a very special, stolen space ship.
It is a hilarious space romp to find the meaning of the Universe, complicated by the Volgons, a bureaucratic alien species with terrible poetry, a very competitive political campaign, and limitless possibilities.
