Moonrise is a terrific Wes Anderson movie that manages to be intelligent, funny, and full of quirks all at the same time.

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2012)

Over the course of the last decade writer/director/producer Wes Anderson has successfully carved out a very successful little niche for himself in the fused genre of dramedy. Anderson has a very distinct style with his dry(but not British dry) humor, quirky characters, and very stylized settings. Moonrise Kingdom is his latest film which he takes on a childhood romance set in the 1960s on an island somewhere in New England. Does this movie deliver on the laughs, or does Anderson's style get in the way of this seemingly simple take on a child romance?
Moonrise Kingdom is a story about an orphan in 1960s New England named Sam Shakusky(Jared Gilman) who runs away from his Khaki scout camp to meet with who he believes is the love of his life, Suzy Bishop(Kara Hayward).
