I like to think of the movie as a loving tribute
Rather than worry about it being canon.
Biographer and Adams expert MJ Simpson gave it a scathing review
and other dedicated h2 fans gave him such a hard time he threw the
toys out of the pram and said he wouldn't write another word about
him. People forget that none of it was ever meant to be "canonical",
that's how DNA approached it (radio, books, TV, computer game)
So the film wasn't great but Adams co-wrote it, it doesn't really matter.
Except for the whole Humma Kavula angle which made me wince.
