You will become intrigued by its whimsical and quirky sense of humor, understand that a familiarity with the books is necessary, read one of more of the Hitchhiker books, return to the movie, appreciate it more...

A decent film, but by no means does it live up to the books. On the bright side, it's fun and witty, and Alan Rickman is incredible as always.
