I can't imagine the movie being worse than the commercials for it. They're some of the worst movie commercials I've seen in years.

They're the most un-funny promos you could imagine. The story is a comedy. Supposed to be an all-out, thinking, but out-loud laughing comedy. Anyone not familiar with the subject matter is not going to get that at all from the TV spots. What they'll get is something that looks like a worthless sci-fi flick, a month before Star Wars opens.

The trailer with the Stephen Fry (Guide) voice-over was good though. Very good.

I'm going to stop reading reviews. Read the first three. I thought the second and third were less than useless and the authors just didn't know anything about the story or what made it what it is. The first really critical one was a very interesting read. I could live with the Heart of Gold's spherical shape, Marvin's goofy appearance, and even an American Ford... But everything else just seems like a huge let-down.
