Review

the worst wes anderson film ever, but then again there are worse things in life than that. i didn’t really laugh until about 20 minutes in and the laughs throughout the film were less hearty than they were in other anderson films. the visual style and story were certainly andersonian, but this lacked some of the panache and laughs that his rushmore had in spades. the ending did an okay job of being sentimental, but it didn’t succeed the way i felt he had hoped. a disappointment overall.
