A standard Anderson formulation

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2012)

Wes Anderson continues to mine cutesy Americana and kitsch with a genuine hipsters eye for offbeat ironic characters that all live in a world infused with the golden-honey color of nostalgia.
In this particular world, the precocious runaway misfit hero children (one, the outcast of his scout camp, the other an angry and misunderstood daughter of two lawyers) of course posses the wisdom of the Buddha and freely dance a hipster dance to arcane retro hipster music (an Anderson hallmark) while the bumbling, evil grownups crash in and ruin everything by capturing the lovebird runaways and forcing them apart.
But alas, the adventure continues as a rescue mission when suddenly (and seemingly for no real reason) the fellow camp-mates decide to spirit the two adolescent outcast delinquents away to live happily ever after.
As per usual in the tiresomely whimsical worlds Anderson designs, reason and logic are sacrificed willingly for the sake of his symmetrically framed hipster fairytale narratives. Even though, as in our own everyday reality where fish don't walk and people cannot fly, things happen that defy the actual laws of physics and human nature that we've all come to know and rely upon.
In the end, a love story is a love story and apparently - nothing else matters.
