Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy - the movie, is probably as bad as the pizza you get in tanjore. I guess the director must have done something on the lines of:
1. Take the book
2. Ignore everything from 2 pages before and 2 pages after every funny line.
3. Look out for the most inept cast, and sign them up, though I must admit - Trillian was cute...
4. Ask an arbit high-browed old man taking a walk along cobbled sidewalks in Southampton and having as much sense of humour as pigeon poop over your car windshield to narrate the *funny* parts.
5. Put in the most unimagniative graphics since the adam dude ate the apple.
6. Employ a PR person whos next only to Sitaram Yechuri in the list of bad campaigners.
7. And worse, go on to release this piece of crap.

Thankfully, DA is dead.
