Review: "The Hitchhicker's Guide To The Galaxy"

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (PG) is a comedic science fiction flick about one man's journey after Earth is destroyed. The man, Arthur Dent, hitches a ride with a space craft with a little help from his alien friend. From there, mildly stellar adventures ensue. The movie builds quite a bit of interest in its initial thirty minutes. However, it gets a little dull after that. The narration keeps you going, though, and some of the jokes are brilliant. Sam Rockwell is the only actor that really shines. In the end, it is an enjoyable little flick with enough comedy to keep you chuckling. Still, I had higher hopes for this nearly below average movie.
