I didn't realize you hadn't read the books! The only warning I ~might~ give then is that Douglas Adams was unabashadly atheist and Darwinist.... and he makes the point several times that really, as it turns out, life has no point. The earth is not made by God, but mice, in a huge factory. The earth is really a great computer intended to find the question, but it's blown up before the whole program could run, so we'll never know. I'm only saying this because it's something you may want to discuss or think about... it's not a film they should take seriously, it's a comedy, but it will tell them things that don't agree with your faith.
Hi Hair!
Haven't got to see it yet...I want to but we'll have to see how the budget is...last weekend at the salvage yard was a bit of a shock to us! LOL
I'm not worried about the atheistic viewpoint of Adams...my goodness, the whole movie is pure fiction, won't be too hard to impress upon my kids that THAT part is fiction too! LOL
They've already seen the world blow up in the trailer at the library (high speed internet, don'tcha know.)
I think having NOT read the book might be a plus in this situation...I sometimes envied those who saw LOTR without having read the books...the silly little things that I missed were not missed by them, if you understand me.
Thanks, both of you...I don't think I'm too worried about taking the boys now at all...just getting us all there is going to be the hurdle! LOL
