First. Go see this movie.
If you are going to take the time to read this you need to at least see what it is I am refering to.

Second. Bring your towel.
I had mine, went to a sold out show, and was stunned by the total lack of towels, Peril Sensitive Sunglasses, or small blue furry creatures from Alpha Centeri in attendance.

Third. Don't Panic.
If you are a fan you already know that Douglas Adams published several versions of his books each one ever so slightly different from the other. This one is the furtherest from canon yet, but most of it rings true. Except of course the romantic bits necessary for the standard Holywood ending.

Fourth. You'll need to stick this fish in your ear.
If you are a fan you already know that Douglas Adams greatest gift was his dialogue. Each and every word was carefully chosen such that the reader, listener, or viewer might have the best comic experience possible. Karey Kirkpatrick, knowing this and knowing how awful his own dialogue was in comparison chose to change the original rather than improve his own. For example, Shakerspere wrote "To be or not to be, that is the question", Karey Kirkpatrick would have rewritten this line to say instead, "To be or not to be, that's what I can't figure out." Surprisingly the original dialogue is so good that even after being purposely and systematically changed, you could instantly identify who wrote what. Fortunately for all fans involved, one day Karey Kirkpatrick will die and Douglas Adams will be waiting for him on the otherside. Should I die first, you can be assured I will be standing in the line of volunteers willing to hold Karey Kirkpatrick down.

To summerize, go see this movie, you will enjoy it.
