Please panic - Hitchhiker's Guide awful?

Just read it: the upcoming "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie seems to be not as funny as the book.

"It's bad on a big scale because enormous swathes of the story have been dispensed with - most of the Guide entries, whole scenes - or changed beyond all recognition. And it is bad on a small scale because many, many wonderful lines have been cut or in some cases actually rewritten to make them less funny. Whatever your favourite line from Hitchhiker's, there's a good chance that it won't be in the film. Even if it's really well-known, widely-quoted, much-loved, very funny - it will probably be absent from the movie. Or if it is there, it might have been changed."

Doesn't sound like the new movie will honour Adam's books like it should.
