Hype, Hype, and more Hype! Can you tell that I was
disappointed and laying on the sarcasm pretty thick? I feel like this is
the hipster of movies and here is what I mean. This is one of those indie
flicks that is packed with great actors playing odd-ball parts, extremely heavy
dialogue that doesn't quite fit, and out of the ordinary situations with
expressions that milk the far too long camera shots. I think this will go
down as a mediocre movie that most people will pretend to love and patronize
those few who actually admit it wasn't that good. You know, the hipster
of movies! It wasn't terrible by any means, but wasn't excellent like it
was supposed to be. The acting was fantastic, the cast was really cool,
and the story was meh. I usually like this type of movie and would almost
always recommend them, but in this case I would say only if you have been
waiting for me to review it in anticipation of seeing it as soon as possible. I
will say it gives a great take on the classic fight for the family fortune
story. Maybe I wasn't in the right mindset but was expecting a lot more
and think it was completely overrated. This is a Red box but for a buck,
I would say you wont be wasting your money, even with the tax.
FYI: This is directed by Wes Anderson who has collaborated
with Bill Murray 7 times now.
