Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (9/13/2005)

Rated PG for thematic elements, action and mild language.

Directed by Garth Jennings

Starring Mos Def, Martin Freeman…

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz!

HUH? What? Is it over yet?

Hitchhiker’s is a movie starring a few no names and a depressed Robot… probably because it saw the raw cut of the film and realized what a waste of money it was!

Don’t be fooled by the many names you’ll hear of stars who are in this. Their roles are more like cameos, and frankly, they just couldn’t jumpstart the film! You can sprinkle as much sugar as you want on doggy doo and it still is dog doo!

Okay… maybe I'm being a little harsh…

Nope. I just thought about it again. Definately doo doo. The film was just plain weird!

SHOULD KIDS SEE IT?
Sure, nothing really objectionable… other than the fact that it’s one giant sleeping pill. My kids said “It was okay… it was pretty weird!” And that’s from three kids that liked Garfield.
