I saw it on Sunday night. It started off well, aside from the fancy dress party inexplicably becoming "the night before" rather than 6 months earlier. No real reason for that to be done.

In fact, the whole Humma Kavula thing was very unnecessary (Douglas Adams wrote him into the screenplay, for whatever reason I don't know), and Trillian's character was reduced to a love interest, a damsel-in-distress.

I liked the parts with the book, the way they treated Magrathea. I just think they wasted a whole lot of time on an unnecessary diversion to the Vogon planet, when the original story could easily have filled the same time, and been as perilous.
