The latest from Wes Anderson (Royal Tannenbaums, Life Aquatic, etc). Tried to see Dark Knight Rises, but it was sold out, so this was a second choice...
This was fun, cute, and quirky as any of Anderson's other films. I was struck that Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Ed Norton, Jason Schwarzman et al were second string to the kid leads who both did a decent job. The scout jokes made me laugh. I don't know how many times I heard about sticking a pebble in your mouth to stave off thirst.
No 3-D, no swordfights. Sorry..., but even so, I'd recommend it if you like this sort of thing. No need to see it on the big screen.
