What a fun and original movie. A couple young… um, lovers? are bored or frustrated with their lives, and decide to run away together. Along the way, everything falls into place, like if you took a puzzle out of a box, threw it onto a table, and all the pieces just happened to arrange themselves. Sure, that’s a bit absurd, but beautiful all the same. I think Wes Anderson is getting better with age.

Bottle Rocket
This movie was indeed a lot like a bottle rocket… wandering aimlessly, but amusingly for a while, then finishing with a bang. To which, the viewer smirks, shrugs, and says “hmm”… or perhaps “huh”. It follows the exploits of a couple 20-something slackers, and their really poorly-thought-out plan for success through petty criminal mischief.
