Like "The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou," I don't know how to feel about this movie. At times it's funny but sometimes it's just plain boring. A lot of the motel scenes could've been cut out. When the film was about to reach its end, I didn't care what happened to the characters because I felt like I was sitting through a bad two and a half hour movie. The best thing about this movie is its script. The dialogue is crisp and witty. The Wilson brothers have good chemistry. Other than that, it has pretty much nothing going for it. The dry humour they have here is lackadaisical. Granted, it's one of Wes Anderson's first films so I decided to give this film a break. I don't hate it, I just somewhat don't prefer to watch it again.
