MTooley's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Like most of Wes Anderson’s film, the dialogue is very dead-pan which doesn’t really always provide for alot of emotional range. However, most of these actors pull it off perfectly, notably Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, and Cate Blanchett.

Male Stars - Really Great 4.5

Bill Murray - excellent Owen Wilson - not annoying (which is about as good as he gets for me)

Female Stars - Really Great 4.5

Both female stars are excellent

Female Costars - Really Great 4.5

Only female costars are minor characters
