"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has been portrayed as a parody of government, politics, and big business. First, the government has been parodied. In the text it reads, "For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it" (Adams 38). This quote parodies the government due to the fact that many presidents have control of their territories and have many…

movie was both serious and funny at the same time. The movie line was not the best for a horror movie because it had more to it than that.

Generally the audience is only aware of one side. Knowing both sides of the story is what makes this movie good. By knowing that Tucker and Dale were only trying to help the kids rather than kill the…
