David Learner reviews movie

David Learner (TV Marvin) has reviewed the film in a rather positive light.

A few more reviews

Here are a few more reviews that may or may not have been posted here already... (There's getting to be so many of them that I occasionally lose track...)

Tiscali

Channel 4

Andy Beaumont

imdb (Fair warning: There is a lot of unfriendliness going on in the imdb message boards.)

Another review

Emma Kennedy has reviewed the movie. It isn't a good review, but it isn't bad, etither.

The Duke on BBC

Jenz Kjellberg (aka The Duke of Dunstable), owner of the Douglas Adams Continuum is going to be interviewed by BBC. Further details will be provided as they arrive.

Update: The Duke was interviewed via telephone, and it is likely going to play tomorrow morning between 6AM and 9AM (UK time) on the BBC Radio 5 Live (909 and 693 AM) morning show, simply called Breakfast. For those of us outside of the UK, we can listen to their broadcast on their website, and it should be archived for about a week.

Lots of videos available

HHGTTGOnline.com has a very popular "Trailers" page, which has grown to include far more than just trailers. There are 4 regular trailers, an iPod trailer, a TV commercial, the whale scene, and 6 featurettes, each with a different topic, ranging from Jim Henson Productions' work with the Vogons to Humma Kavula to the universe itself.

Excellent review of the movie

Matt Adcock has written a review of the movie, though it isn't clear whether he's basing the review on a screening or simply guessing based on the trailers, etc. However, it's still a decent review, and worth a read if you're interested.
