Sci-fi comedy, based on Douglas Adams's irreverent BBC
radio show and book, with Martin Freeman as earthman Arthur Dent, who hitchhikes
across the galaxy after the Earth is destroyed in order to make room for a
hyperspace bypass. Dent's companions include a depressed robot, a couple of
aliens (Mos Def and Sam Rockwell) one of whom is remarkably dim-witted and an
earthwoman (Zooey Deschanel) Dent is in love with. Together they try to find the
meaning of life. Also with Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, John Malkovich, Helen
Mirren and Bill Nighy. Directed by Garth Jennings. [1:50 - PG]
