Bilbo kinda gets swept up in the whole thing, if I recall.
He sort of gets flustered by Gandalf's first visit, and invites him to tea without really thinking. Then he ends up catering the Unexpected Party because A: It's only the polite thing for a host to do, apparently, and B: he's so taken aback by it all that he doesn't really think to say "get out". Then, the next day, he oversleeps and misses a letter for a meeting with the Dwarves, and Gandalf sort of shoos him out because he's "late". There's also a bit of hinting that Bilbo wants to go on an adventure more than he lets on. I don't know if it's in the movie, but in the book, when he first has his meeting with Gandalf and remembers the wizard's previous visits, he says "Things used to be quite excit- er... I mean, you used to upset things quite terribly around here."

That sounds like a better transition than what's in the movie, though Freeman plays it all really well.

I'm pretty sure the letter, at least is still in the movie. I remember a bit from the trailer where Bilbo's running out of Bag End with a big piece of paper, which I can only assume is that, but I suppose I'll have to see the movie myself.

I haven't read the book in a while, but his entire motivation for wanting to join in the movie basically boils down to "Well, everyone (but Gandalf for some reason) called me weak and bumbling, and I admitted I would be bad for it, and I have no real idea why it's so significant to all of them, and there's a good chance of me getting maimed or otherwise not coming back, so I guess I'll go?" I mean, I guess Gandalf says the word Took a lot and tells a fake story about one of Bilbo's ancestors, but it really does seem like he just wakes up the day after the meeting and has a complete change of mind with no explanation given.

Yeah like, all of the time they spent on thundercat-looking orc guy? If instead that had been spent on like, Hobbit stuff and why Bilbo was a little different in Hobbit society or why Gandalf thought he was a cool dude then that would have been a lot better.

If I recall, he wakes up the day after the party, and is all "huh. Was that all some sort of weird dream? Eh. On to breakfasts.", and about an hour or so later, Gandalf is like "you didn't even dust your mantle-place this morning, did you?" and Bilbo's like "What's that got to do with anything?" and Gandalf's like "This letter is what.", and the letter's like "We're waiting for you at the inn, we expect you at [time]", and Gandalf's like "That's 10 minutes from now, better hurry!" and Bilbo's like "bu-" and Gandalf's like "nope! Shoo! You'll be late!"
