If anybody wants to see this movie and hasn't read the book, see the movie first. As a comedy, it was excellent, but it didn't do justice to the book, since basically the entire middle of the book was changed, thus very few of the really funny parts were present.
Ford convincing the construction man to lie in front of the bulldozer. Would have taken maybe two minutes more than giving them all beer
They put deep thought on Magrathea, whatever, but they removed the philosophers entirely
The computer making tea. This, and Zaphod's ancient relative could have easily transported the ship to whatever planet Humma Kavula was on
They kept the whale, and it's a good thing, it was the really funny part that actually made it to the movie
As for general comments about the movie, what's up with Zaphod? Would it have been such a chore to give him two heads side by side? Also, book one is NOT a love story. There is no relationship between Arthur and Trillian like the one in the movie.
