What Parents Need to Know
About The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Parents need to know that this movie is partly kooky and partly philosophical, and not always accessible to younger kids. While the slapstick (pratfalls, face slaps) and puns can be amusing, the chatter alternates between clever and tedious. Characters drink beer and use mild language. Parents should also know that the movie has some scary, if abstract moments (the earth is destroyed from outer space; the image features no people, but the globe does go pffft), some shooting of science-fiction-ish weapons, a few odd, large, ugly creatures.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the friendship between Arthur and Ford, who learn to appreciate each other's different perspectives and look out for one another. Families might also consider the symbolic roles played by the aliens Arthur meets (the two-headed president of the galaxy; the lumbering bureaucratic race called Vogons; the generous, sensitive Ford), or Arthur's passivity: how does he learn to act on his desires, look out for his friends, or have self-confidence? How can you define "normality"?

pointlessly stupid

Hilarious Movie
This is one of the most hilarious movies that I have ever seen. Not for everyone, but some people will find it hilarious. The only problem I have with it was that it pokes a little bit of fun at religion.

lol funny movie
- I rate this title on for age 2 and give it
There is alot of people in the movie trying to make jokes but not really succeding. The movie is much better than the book, which is really convusing.

Not very good.
I typically love random movies like this, but it really wasn't that funny. There were some very funny parts, but I was pretty disapointed. I wouldn't recomend it.
- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it
disappointing
If you liked the book and/or television series, this movie will probably disappoint. Too much is left out and extra stuff inserted that didn't make much sense. My kids would either be totally confused by the plot or find it stupid.

If you enjoy humor and fiction -- you just might enjoy this movie
If you like a story that is a stretch of the imagination . . . If you like non-"box" humor. Give this a look. Don't try and make it fit into reality, since it is a work of fiction . . . you just might enjoy the story. It is goofy, strange, weird, sweet and fun.

Who could actually enjoy this?
It took almost half the movie to find out what the plot was. A lot of it was pointless and stupid. While there was some good parts, those parts I could count on one hand. I didn't even watch all of it because it was sooooooooo dumb. The plot is what is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything and if you ask me, you will never find out if you watch movies so pointless.
