crisp, clean, well-staged, acted and written.

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2012)

the gift that Wes Anderson gives us is the gift of making it seem as if every single moment of living for his characters is leading up to something huge, as much as they like to remain neutral.
never a dull moment in the script. a master of the staging of each frame, this movie feels like a play. so sharp that the comedy is situational and rare.
bill murray creates someone that we all want to be, but simply cant. bruce willis - welcome back to acting. and hello hair. the two kids are so unique and mature.
Wes Anderson, well done. and roman c.
i'd give it a 10, but i'm too egotistical. 9.5
