Romantic film about two young lovers

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2014)

This film was beautifully made by Wes Anderson. It's about two young lovers running away to be together after meeting at a play at a church. Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward were great as Sam and Suzy, especially in their debut feature film. And there are some Anderson favourites as well, including my favourites: Bill Murrary as Suzy's father Mr Bishop, whose performance, as usual, is very funny; Edward Norton as Scout Master Ward, who isn't the best Scout Master and, after one of his Scouts runs away, finds it hard to keep his Scout group together, leading to disaster and Jason Schwartzman as Cousin Ben, who doesn't appear until later on in the film but is, as usual, the very random and funny one. Bruce Willis was also comedic as Captain Sharp, who is having an affair with Mr Bishop's wife, played by Frances McDormad, which makes the relationship between him and Mr Bishop awkward and tense, which brings more humour to the narrative. While this film is very funny, there are some dramatic twists in the story, which I wasn't expecting and made this film even better. Great story, great cast, brilliant film!
