Leave your individual "baggage" somewhere else. This film, these characters are much more than that. Much more than a plot, it's more really like getting to know the characters and catch (some of) the subtle but hilarious jokes. The humour is unique and smart and brings up a guffaw each time.
The way it's shot, directed and edited is very orginal and keen.
The performances are PERFECT. The characters are so real, and you end up loving and feeling sympathetic for each of them. Funny, wise and pathetic at the same time. Two of the three leading men are of my favourite actors ever. Adrien Brody, apart from being GORGEOUS, is, I think, one of the best actors alive. I've never seen him in comedy before, and I think it works perfectly, prooving that he's versatile, being able to do anything, and because of that, a trully excellent actor. Owen Wilson is so charismatic and adorable, I think he belongs on screen, but of course, he still needs a little development (he's nothing like Adrien). Here, in this movie, he really manages to be almost at the same level, though. Thumbs up! I adore him! Jason Schwartzman was also very good, but aside those two, rather plain.
The scenery is so beautiful, magical, intriguing...
I've seen other movies from Wes Anderson before and I liked them very much, but I really think this overcomes by far all his previous work. He's a trully great filmaker.
Ten out of ten! Not to be missed!
Curiosity: I was drinking Darjeeling Tea while watching it! ;)
