I love this series (and enjoyed the movie) for their sheer randomness, with the plot having no actual plot line, other than to see what random situation Arthur Dent can be thrown into next. The movie kept nicely to Douglas' humor style.
My only complaint? The love story. Douglas Adams was never one for happy endings where things work out perfectly good. I was hoping for an ending where it would look like it was going to be one of those typical "everybody lived happily ever after" endings, only to have something more bizzare and inexplicable show up and just make a general mess of things.

I really do agree, the whole love story made the movie just a little cheesey. Still great though, and really funny. [edit: and at least now more people might understand exactly why forty-two is the answer]
