Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
This was the most retarded, ridiculous movie I've ever seen. I LOVED IT!!!
The plot was hard to follow, but in the end, it all makes sense. Arthur Dent is an ordinary guy who lives somewhere in Europe (I think, anyways...his home is never truly established. The point is, he lives on the planet Earth). His house is about to be demolished, and just when he thinks all hope is lost and his home is gone forever, his friend Ford Prefect comes and says, 'You're right, all hope is lost and your home IS gone forever, 'cause the planet is about to be destroyed by the Vogons'. Arthur's confused to the extreme, but before he can ask what's going on, the Vogons descend to destroy the planet, and Ford and Arthur have very little time to escape. They escape -- onto the Vogon starship. The Vogons blast them into space, but they are picked up by the President of the Galaxy in his stolen starship and a girl that Arthur met at a party (who he also has secretly loved since the night they met).
The rest of the movie somehow gets them involved to find the Ultimate Question. They already know the answer -- it's 42 -- but they have to go from one end of the galaxy to the other to find the question.
Then we find out that humans are NOT smartest creatures on the planet Earth, but rather, the 3rd smartest. The second smartest are dolphins and the first...well, just see the movie.
It's an excellent movie. It's got stupid humor, and it doesn't make sense right away, but it's not pointless (like Napoleon Dynamite). It's based on the book by Douglas Adams, and I fully anticipate the making of 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' or one of Douglas's other works. In my opinion, he's a genius writer.

No, you see, Napoleon had no point. Hitchhiker's Guide did. The retardation made sense, if that makes any sense at all. it was FUNNY retardation. Napoleon's retardedness wasn't funny...just retarded.
i think hitchhiker's guide does have a point, just that it wasn't obvious because of the retardation and randomness. but i loved this movie as well, and am glad to find another one who does! (i haven't seen napoleon dynamite yet)
thanks for visiting my movie blog! yours is really interesting too!
