Summary - Good 3.0
An esoteric and funny journey to India with three neurotic brothers. The all over the place nature of this film is the main source of its humor, and while not-quite LOL, you’ll find yourself chuckling the whole way through. Stick with the ironic, wacky and sarcastic twists and turns, and you will enjoy the ride on the Darjeeling Limited.
Acting - Good 3.0
Classic Owen Wilson with the dry sarcasm. Loved Adrien Brody’s macabre part, and Jason Schwartzman fits right in as the narcoleptic 3rd brother. Angelica Houston has a good, but very short part, and Bill Murray only gets a cameo.

I’m not sure how to quite describe the nature of this film — maybe like a subtle Mel Brooks? Of course, Wes Anderson deserves original credit for mixing a thematic setting and stunning scenery with goofy humor and irony. PS Be sure to watch the “Hotel Chevalier” opening, a bit out there – but funny!
