• New York Times "...hugely likeable..."
• Planet Magrathea (2005/3/31) "Not funny"
• BBC - Review: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "Don't panic - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is not as bad as I had feared. Then again, it is not as good as I had hoped."
• The Register "The film version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is faithful to author Douglas Adams' legacy. The trouble is it's simply not especially funny."
