Christian Reviews
These are real reviews from a site: http://christiananswers.net/spotlight/movies/2005/thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy2005.html
It is shown that, especially, the movie received a lot of mixed reviews from their religious viewers.
"I would describe myself as a “fairly tolerant” Christian. I’m an avid movie fan, and watch movies of all genres and ratings (G through R). Being “in the world,” I’m accustomed to having to “sift” out worldly garbage that is in almost every form of entertainment these days. I can sift out a little language, some violence and “some” sexual situations. “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” offended me to the point that I refused to watch it and walked out of the movie theatre within roughly thirty minutes of the movies’ beginning." -Melaine
I left halfway through this movie. The direct reference towards salvation in the scene where he says “whipe us clean with your white hankerchief” or something like that was the last straw for me. I’m not going to sit there and listen to someone belittle my saviour. -Lucas
In my short life so far (21 years old) I cannot remember a movie I have had to walk out of. I went into this movie expecting something “PG” and there were so many disrespectful remarks to God I left the theatre, and went out in the lobby and complained to the person at the counter. Never in my life have I been so upset at a supposed “PG” movie. I like “stupid” or slap-stick movies, but this movie is just plain stupid, a waste of time, and most importantly, disrespectful to God! -Jonathan
The movie does make fun of an imaginary religion, but most of the time real religions deserve to be made fun of. Given that Douglas Adams by the end of his life was a strong evolutionist and self-proclaimed “convinced” atheist—the mention of evolution was much more subtle than I expected. And the joke about “God” trilogy of books is just as much making fun of best-selling novels (if not more so) than poking fun at God. -William
I’m not entirely sure that Douglas Adams’ masterpiece is anti-God. Adams obviously wasn’t a Christian, but his stories seem to go back and forth between universal chaos and the possibility of a higher deity (albeit a far away one, with an unfortunate sense of humor). He’s not for it, or against it. In one scene however, that was not in the book, there is an extended period of church mocking. Some Christians may find it amusing, some may see it as offensive. -Cade
