Don't panic.

I happened to remember that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was opening today, so I planned my day around a matinee viewing. Hooray for vacations!!

I didn't read any reviews so as not to have expectations. It turned out to be exactly what one would expect a Douglas Adams book(s)-turned-movie to be - which was a pleasant surprise... Plus the added bonuses (boni?) of staring at Martin Freeman for 90 minutes and appearances by Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich and Alan Rickman (who was a hilarious Marvin).

I don't recall the presidential jabs from the books, but then again I read them over 10 years ago. If anyone can confirm/refute that they were added into the movie, that would be appreciated.
