I'm all in on Wes Anderson so of course I enjoyed the film. Still, I'd probably enjoyed it the least of his recent offerings. Basically it works best as a screwball comedy, but whenever it tries to get serious the pacing really falters, and the stab at the profundity at the end really falls flat and feels tacked on. Its not that I don't think Anderson can effectively mix comedy and emotion (that was a poorly constructed sentence) - I just don't think he succeeds here.
Still, its worth seeing and I'm sure I'll watch it multiple times in the future.
