Tyler P. @TylerPhoenixMD Dec 20 I don’t care what anyone says this movie is a classic. It’s the beginnings of some of the best movies! You can tell all the inspiration that comes from it.

I feel like it could have been funnier, and maybe could have turned it into a full on comedy.

I felt on the verge of crying the whole time despite nothing sad happening on screen. its all an underlying melancholy somehow captured beautifully in this movie. this movie is eye candy if you love worn-out vintage motels and grain elevators . monuments of a lost time. still struggling to exist in our modern world where they do not fit. See more r96 s @RT00952237 Jul 8 'Bottle Rocket' felt like it was running on fumes for me, the conclusion is an improvement on what procedes but it doesn't quite do enough to salvage my feelings towards this Wes Anderson feature directorial debut. With that noted, I didn't explicitly dislike it either. Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson make their acting bows, quite interesting that the brothers don't actually portray brothers; kinda refreshing to see, actually. Robert Musgrave and James Caan are also involved. Owen is the standout in my opinion, though the main trio are on a similar-ish level. It coulda done with more laughs, but that's obviously a personal thing - no doubt many will find it funny, just not me; albeit with a few chuckles scattered in there. It also isn't the most Wes Anderson-y film, with his signature MO evidently not quite fully developed yet (as expected, tbf). See more Read all reviews
