The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (2005)

If you haven't already read the book, drop what you are doing, grab a Dr. Pepper and go buy this book. After reading it go see the movie. Gee Whiz was this a lot of fun. It captured the off the wall wackiness of the novel very well and the characters really came alive. Many of the funniest parts of the book were the explanations of various places and cultures, and thankfully they are shown through the movie as animations in the "hitchhiker's guide" book with accompanying narrations. They were nicely inserted into the movie without detracting from the main story-line. There are loads of really cool effects in the movie so there is plenty of visual and comedic excitement throughout. If you are a wacky, zany funnster then this movie is a must see. Of course the book is better and funnier but this is still a great way to spend a couple hours. This one found its way to 4 of 5.
