In fact it is originally a radio comedy by Douglas Adams, but it's better known (at least in Finland and as far as I know in other parts of world) as a book, which is part of Adams book series, which is world's only five-part trilogy. I don't know if the movie includes the love, but in the books and Finnish version of the radio comedy call it the answer to the ultimate question to life, universe and everything.
