The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Don't panic
What were they thinking? I have been a very loyal Douglas Adams fan for a number of years, read and reread the series of Hitchhiker books numerous times. I own the BBC production on DVD. I'm familiar with the story & the concept. This was not a bad film, but it is a very weak adaptation. The actor's performances were quite good. The special effects were outstanding. I will not put a spoiler in this review, but if you've read the books or have seen the original production, you will notice that the film loses direction after about the 1st 20 minutes of run time. Again, if you've never read the books you may love this movie. Darn, now where did I leave my towel?
Thanksgiving Family Reunion (2003)
Where have you gone Chevy Chase?
My God that's probably the 1st time anyone has ever asked that question. The main problem with this this movie is that it's too long. With commercials its running time is about 2 hours. It's about 1 hour and 58 minutes too long. Were sleeping tablets issued to the cast before filming? The real turkey on Thanksgiving was the film.
Man's Favorite Sport? (1964)
Great light comedy.
Similar to the great screwball comedies of the 30's. Hudson and Prentiss play off of each other very well. The plot has no surprises but it is well executed. As far as light comedies go, this was one of the best to appear in the 60's.
