Average The movie was more of a revue than a narrative, more about moments than an organizing purpose, and cute to the point that I yearned for some corrosive wit from its second cousin, the Monty Python universe.
Above Average There's certainly something of Adams in this version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, although perhaps not enough to make it an unqualified success...Whatever the case, although I never doubted that I was watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, something was missing.
And he learns that the answers to everything anyone ever wanted to know—and plenty that no one in his right mind could possibly have expected—are all to be found in one fantastically entertaining electronic book: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

 The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy film review By Charli Morgan
Douglas Adams turned his sci-fi phenomenon, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy into a hit radio and TV series, a five-part trilogy of novels and a BAFTA-winning computer game, but complained turning it into a movie was like "trying to grill a steak by having a succession of people blow on it".
A galaxy of stars were enlisted to bring the mind-boggling story to the big screen, including Martin Freeman, who reprises his superb 'Everyman' role from The Office to play Arthur Dent, a tea-loving Londoner who becomes the last man from Earth, following its destruction to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
They will relish whispering to their unimpressed cinema neighbour, "Look, Douglas Adams' face is in that shot" or "That's Marvin the Paranoid Android from the TV series." And for the uninitiated, there's an acid-trip of a movie featuring love, aliens and the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Now for those who have only seen the movie (which has an unfortunate happy ending tagged on to it), the original British story was an exercise in pure, unadulterated nihilism.
At Age 10, I made an explicit and intentional decision to become a Christian, and while I have certainly refined my definition what it means to be a Christian many times, there has never been a point at which I did not believe that there was a meaning and a purpose to the universe.
