I've heard about a million bad reviews of it. Of course, I'll still be going to see it, but just about every place that reviewed it, absolutely trashed it.

Yeah I thought it was a great movie, I knew it was Warrick from the moment I heard his voice (didn't know he was in it)

Well it is a movie adaptation, and it happens to be missing one of my favorite quotes (the "I wish I would have listened to my mother when I was young" bit). People who are real die-hard fans of the books and die-hard fans of that "type" of humor might wish it was done a little differently, but I thought they did all right.

Not the dude in the suit, the voice. IMDB was not your friend today :D

I didn't stay through the credits, but it sounded like Alan Rickman.

Agreed - great movie!

I agree. It was pretty good. It didn't stick to the books/radio show/BBC series, but what they added was very Adams-like. I enjoyed it.

It was professor Snipes from Harry Potter. Hilarious, but I can see why purists were disappointed, even though the screenplay was by Douglas Adams himself.

Lol obviously, I meant when I heard his voice I knew who it was. I'm sure there was a wee little person in that suit.
