This is the film that made me dislike Wes Anderson

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2015)

It is as though Wes Anderson is in competition with himself to see how many of the same actors he can put in each of his movies. With The Fantastic Mr. Fox and even Moonrise Kingdom is was delightful to see the actors we had once seen and loved in the Royal Tenenbaums. But this film was so ridiculously packed with every single actor who had ever appeared in any Anderson film that is was not only annoying but also greatly distracting from the plot. I feel as though this film is a parody of what his films once were, so full of quirk and color and famous actors that the plot (what weak a plot there was) was completely overshadowed. And to find that this was the one film to win an Oscar was greatly disappointing.
