An absolutely perfect film for this star studded cast. When I first sat down t watch this movie I was expecting the many top actors to chew through the scenery to live up to something more than the movie is. The directing by Anderson was perfect. I felt like these great actors were humble in their performances, leading to a genuine film of love, anguish, despair, and hilarity. I am shocked that this movie has under 3 stars. I thought it was beautifully written, directed, and executed. A must-watch for everybody. |

This is one of Wes Anderson's best films, a tragic portrayal of a family falling apart at the seams. The film finds its truth and comfort in dark comedy and the film's subtly funny moments work because they are buried in real human emotion. This is the closest Anderson's awkward, observational style gets to truly probing rich and relatable characters and it works beautifully. |

The Royal Tenenbaums review |
|
The story of the Tenenbaum family: Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) a lawyer who was cold to his children and did not provide adequate love; Etheline Tenenbaum (Anjelica Huston) the wife who discovers love with her accountant; Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) is the promiscuous adopted daughter married to Raleigh St. Clair (Bill Murray), a neurologist; the financial genius Chas Tenenbaum (Ben Stiller) sued and had his father disbarred and Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) the tennis wunderkind. Henry Sherman (Danny Glover) falls for Etheline and exposes the real intent of Royal. The author and family friend Eli Cash (Owen Wilson) had an affair with Margot and has a drug addiction.
Script was impressive with engmatic lines: Royal – “Look, I know I'm gonna be the bad guy on this one. Bu... |

The Royal Tenenbaums review |
|
Director Wes Anderson and his longtime writing partner and friend Owen Wilson follow up Bottle Rocket, and Rushmore with this offbeat comedy about a dysfunctional family reunion. The Royal Tenenbaums is very similar to Anderson's previous two movies. The only difference is that he does everything he had accomplished in his two other movies even better in this one. The Royal Tenenbaums is Wes Anderson best movie.
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was an extremely successful attorney who had three children with his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston), she is an archaeologist. Each of the Tenenbaum kids was pretty much a genius: Chas (Ben Stiller) made a killing as a child investor. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior tennis champ and a three time U.S. Nationals winner. The adopted Margot (Gwyneth... |

A director disappearing up his own a** |
|
The Royal Tenenbaums isn't a bad movie. It's just not a terribly good one. I love Wes Anderson's first two movies Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. Both were extremely clever and witty without being too pretentious. RT on the other hand, is slightly witty and super pretentious. This is the point where Anderson started believing the hype about himself and disappeared up his own a**. The performances are all good, the problem is the characters. They are written as being so quirky that nothing seems real about them. If this film was a cartoon it would have worked better. In all honesty the first half hour is pretty engaging but by the time everyone's back in the house it goes flat and never comes back save for Owen Wilson who unfortunately has a pretty small role. I would not tell someone not to s... |
