The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Following the characters of the famous book, and a 1981 movie, this remake is just as cheeky as the others. Earth is destroyed, but Arthur Dent and his friend Ford hitch a ride just before destruction. Then, of course, they are embroiled in a faux kidnapping of the president of the galaxy while pursuing the ultimate question (which will provide context to the ultimate answer 42). My favorite part of the entire thing is the costuming of the Vogons, which look like giant water/gelatin filled zippered up rubber suits. Pretty good space comedy.
