This quirky tale of adolescent runaways is sweet, clever stuff, no big surprise from writer / director Wes Anderson. I found some of the celebrity actors distracting, particularly when cast against type in roles that could easily have been played by competent unknowns. And some of the implied pre-teen sex was likewise on the not-so-much side. Small problems notwithstanding, this was a cute journey through a vaguely surreal, outsiders’ view of childhood. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
