Reviews

hb-60948 I haven't read the series yet, but thought the movie had a number of really funny moments. Gotta say that the blonde dude reminded me of an awesome combo of Owen Wilson and the drummer from The Foo Fighters. They were both so robbed - one of them could've been perfect for that role! Anyhow, I found that the actual overarching plot was not as interesting as the individual moments throughout. Overall, it was pretty good - loved this style of comedy!

morrismatalon This is one of the most bland and boring movies i've seen in a while. Every single scene feels like it goes on for an hour. It's attempts at humor is terrible. The sad part, is that there is a lot of water talent here. Martin Freeman, Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Jason Schwartzman, Alan Rickman. These are all very talented actors, and it is all wasted with this awful director. It can be creative or funny sometimes, but it's mostly crap. You may be asking, "Why would you watch that?". Good question. I still don't know. I was bored, and I didn't know watch. I was surfing around HBO and i saw this. So like a moron I thought to myself "This can't be that bad". But I was wrong. Don't watch this. It doesn't deserve the price of admission or even for free on HBO. It sucks. I give it a 3/10

vprice94 Because it bored me rigid. The cast was mostly horrid: Tim from The Office couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Sam Rockwell is just plain annoying. The bird who resembles Katy Perry is utterly vacant. And the black fella ends up melting into the background after his promising start. I think 60 minutes is more than enough time to judge if a picture is entertaining or not. Avoid at all cost.

Hitchcoc Of course, this is one of the wittiest books ever written. It is done tongue in cheek with the kinds of absurdities that one would expect from a race of aliens that don't understand us. The election of Donald Trump would be enough to give this verisimilitude. This is not unlike Monty Python in that it is hit and miss and one should take one absurdity and move on to the next. Once again, it is being vilified by people who can't stand it when liberties are taken by script writers and movie producers. The thing is that the fundamental plot is still there. Do we really need another exact version thrown at us? I thought the special effects were great as well as the helter skelter movement of the characters. And where else would one find a depressed robot? What a joy that we have Douglas Adams and such creative minds!
