Whimsy. Cynicism and whimsy in roughly equal amounts are what define HHGTTG for me. The music was dramatic and threatening, indicating close escapes, running down corridoors and big explosions.
HG has all of these, but it doesn't take them _seriously_ for goodness sake.
I expect a travesty, myself. The best I am hoping for is some small redeeming features, and a final temporary boom in the popularity of my favourite book.
