Indeed, you have to read the book. I've read the whole series (it has 5 parts) a couple of years ago and it's simply amazing. I'm a Hitchhikers' fan ever since.
Movie, from a book-fan point of view, was much worse. In about half of the movie, the plot changes drasticly, compared to the one in the book. And the movie is much easier to understand - I find the series very abstract.
