A Wes Anderson film is only appreciated by one who is used to his style. It's an acquired taste. Either you like it or you don't. I like this film just like I liked The Royal Tenenbaums; in both films the characters seem to be out of this world. That's what usually intrigues me and entices me to watch his film. The film may be quirky but it's without a doubt filled with humor and heart.
