I kind of gave up on Wes Anderson at that point, even though I loved Bottle Rocket, because I just thought he was going to be to pretentious for me to get - then i saw Life Aquatic and absolutely fell in love with it. Felt much the same way about this one, and now I'm thinking I need to go back and watch the Royal Tennenbaums again because I probably just didn't "get it" the first time. |
Its a VERY unusual film, and I know several who are just like you...got a kick outta Life Aquatic and Bottle Rocket but couldnt stand it. Its a very dry and depressing film, but I found its deadpan humor to be hilarious.
