Wes Anderson being Wes Anderson-y...and it's great because of it!

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2014)

Whether you love him or hate him, Wes Anderson has a unique eye and makes some very imaginative films. And "The Grand Budapest Hotel" might be my favorite one he's done.
For some reason, the more Wes Anderson looks like he is making a parody of himself with his usual style, the more I like his films. The more the colorful locales look like elaborate set pieces, the more outrageous the characters, and the constantly panning camera work, the more I am entertained by his works. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" takes all those tropes from Anderson and, as usual, makes them work in an entertaining way.
And then there's the cast Anderson has a select group he likes to work with and, as usual, they're all back but the focus on this film was the absolutely superb and riotously humorous role of M. Gustave from Ralph Finnes. Yes, the rest of the cast is great and very funny but, Man Alive, was Finnes awesome in the film. His mastery of language, vulgarity, and body language really sold every joke and made the film a non-stop ride of hilarity.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is another wacky, odd, and eccentric ride from Wes Anderson and it is one packed with great acting and an all-out hilarious story. I really enjoyed this one!
