If you love 'quirky' this is for you.

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: Looking for a few good laughs and enjoy something offbeat and different? Try this video
Review: Recently rented this video and loved it. It is quite unique from what I have viewed lately. However, I did watch it alone and realized that my husband probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much - he has a different sense of humor. Ben Stiller and...

Dysfunctional, disinteresting

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: Well-made movie about a dysfunctional family that I could not make myself give a damn about.
Review: Owen Wilson wrote a movie once called "Bottle Rocket". It starred himself, his brother, Luke, and some other guy as friends who decide to become thieves. They train for their crimes and decide to start out small. So they rob a public library of,...

Flush it, please!!

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: This movie is horrible.
Review: I can not believe such a cast could create such a dud. This is one of the least interesting movies I have ever seen. It is depressing and then gets worse. The few bright spots were only bright by comparison to the sluggish pace lifelessness of the...

A Perfect Family Saga of Weird Timelessness

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: An amazing piece of drama, the Tenenbaum family stands on the brink of destruction until Royal returns to try to gain redemption.
Review: I've had a thing about Ben Stiller for a while; I watch every movie with him I can and I end up disappointed. "Mystery Men," "Zoolander," and whatever else I've seen him in. I repress the memories. I write reviews, then repress it. "The Royal...

Make Believe Manhattan Melodrama

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: Disappointing follow up to the vastly superior, RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS is little more than a clever idea disguised as a movie-- empty and blank as its cast's facial expressions.
Review: Wes Anderson and co-writer Owen Wilson have made two films,
BOTTLE ROCKET and RUSHMORE, strong enough to have great hope for their latest collaboration, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS.
The ensemble cast of Wilson, brother Luke Wilson, Angelica...

Hey! This review has a dent in it! There's another one!

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: The movie that solidifies Wes Anderson as one of the more brilliant young directors around, is bravely funny, obscure, brilliant, and any other random positive word you can think of...
Review: Within 5 minutes of my first viewing of Wes Anderson's latest obscurity, "The Royal Tenenbaums" it had made my top 10 all time favorite films.

Within 10 minutes I imagine it had discretely driven its way into my ultimate 5.

Taking the Fun out of Dysfunction

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: A very dysfunctional family, including three burned out prodigies, reunites when the estranged father comes home to die.
Review: THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS is the name of a family, namely that of a man named Royal Tennenbaum. Once a very prosperous lawyer in New York, his family was the stuff of legend thirty years ago. His wife, Etheline, was a famous archaeologist. His three...

Making Jerry Springer guests seem normal: The Tenenbaums

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's funny but not too funny. Entertaining enough yet depressing and enlightening. It's confusing, and that's why you should see it.
Review: Royal Tenenbaum

If postmodern movies have a poster boy his name is Owen Wilson. First came the bizarre but fun Rushmore, and now the equally bizarre dark comedy The Royal Tenenbaums. This movie gets where it is going in by a route that...

Grand Royal

Date of Review:  May 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: A story of love, loss, confusion, success, failure. You name it.
Review: I entered the movie realm with expectations never short of surprising or indifferent. The smell of the chairs and the curtains and drapes and of course the popcorn brought immediate feelings (through various sniffer sensibilities) and great,...

The Family Where Quirkiness Is King

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Those Baby Genius kids have grown up and have become dysfunctional. Sort of.
Review: Director Wes Anderson has made quite a name for himself: opens with the critically-acclaimed Bottle Rocket (which I haven't seen), follows with the bigger budget Rushmore, and manages to stay quirky and creative, while retaining a sense of warmth...
