Saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Classic Wes Anderson- lots of color and visually interesting shots, somewhat disturbed characters with family issues, great obscure sound track. Anyone else see it yet?

I was supposed to see it this weekend, but got drunk as Hunter S thompson instead. I need to get around to it this week sometime. So excited for it.

I met Wes Anderson at the LA premiere, and it was really cool. I'd always expected him to be kinda pretentious and artsy, but he was just a really normal, funny, nice guy.

It's good in every way. I want to be Jason Schwartzman's character. No, not for Halloween. I want to BE him.

I saw it just the other night, it was awesome. Hotel Chavelier and and the main feature. Great shots, great story, plot development, soundtrack, characters, freaking everything. Definately pending as my favorite Wes Anderson film.

it was great, but not my favourite of his movies.  I found the brothers were kinda similar to one another, as compared to the royal tennenbaums who were outrageously eccentric and so a little more entertaining. i remember thinking at one point 'alright ive had enough of this train already, theyve got to move this story somewhere else and have something more fast paced happen' and immediately they got off and had that encounter with the boys in the river. the spontaneity and randomness of that encounter was a great relief from the pensive neuroticism of the characters, exactly what i was looking for at that point.
