The funniest movie of 2014

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2015)

Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel is arguably one of the best comedic films ever made along with Some Like It Hot (1959), The Producers (1968), Good, Morning Vietnam (1987), Groundhog Day (1993), The Apartment (1960), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Roman Holiday (1953), It Happened One Night (1934) and so many more. As the film opens we see an author (played by Tom Wilkinson) who talks about his days back then while at the grand Budapest hotel (who is now played by Jude Law) and sees a man named Zero Moustafa (played by F. Murray Abraham) and talks to him about his times with Monsieur Gustave (played by Ralph Fiennes) as the lobby boy of the hotel. Out of the 9 Oscar nominations that his film received I really think it should win 2 for best costume design, and best production design, the casting to this film is excellent (besides Fiennes, Abraham, Wilkinson, and Law) it also includes Willem Dafoe as a hit-man, Jeff Goldblum as a lawyer, as well as Wes Anderson regular Bill Murray as a hotel staff member, and Saiorse Ronan as the lobby boy's wife Agatha, as well as Adrien Brody as Gustave's nemesis Dimitri, and the unrecognizable Tilda Swinton as the old woman who stayed at the hotel for 19 years and was found dead in her bed from strychnine poisoning. When I first laid eyes on this movie I literally fell in love with it's humor, it's casting choices, it's story, it's set design, and it's costumes. This is one of 2014's best films.
