This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, Wes Anderson has created another whimsical, colorful, and plain out weird film once again. The story is told fluently and gracefully introduces us to the colorful characters and their personalities. The story is very funny and at time extremely touching.The acting is great. Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Seymour Cassel, Kumar Pallana, and Alec Baldwin all perform very well.The pacing is a little slow in the middle but overall, it is consistently fast. The runtime is a little overlong.Pros: Whimsical, funny, and touching story, great acting, and a great endingCons: Some slow pacing and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 8.2

The Royal Tenenbaums received Oscar recognition in one category, that for
Director Wes Anderson's original screenplay. It didn't win, but no one can
ever say this wasn't original.Title character Gene Hackman is the estranged patriarch of the Tenenbaum clan and his baptismal name is Royal. He was a lawyer along the lines of
Clarence Darrow back in the day, but has fallen on hard times. Back in his
prime he walked out on wife Angelica Huston and the children who grew
up to be Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Now with no place to go he decides to resume the role of dad.Problem is that Huston has decided after all these she wants a husband and
man she picked out is Danny Glover. As he's already lied his way into the
house with a false terminal cancer story, Hackman will have to work triple
overtime to accomplish his goal.If you like quirky characters than The Royal Tenenbaums will fill your bill. I
can bet that players were clamoring for these roles because there's nothing
ordinary in what we see of the people in this film. Any actor would love to
be in this because the writer gives them so much to work with and your imagination can sore.If you like unorothodox than The Royal Tenenbaums is your film. And whatever you think the ending will be I guarantee you will be wrong.

By far and away this is the best Wes Anderson movie, and probably the best performance of Gene Hackman's career. The subtle dramatic relationships behind the typical quirky Anderson fare separate this one from his other films. It is quirky but grounded and the relationships feel real even if the characters are heightened to unrealistic levels.

A film so, so, so, bad, soulless, without charm, that promises you many things to start, and then it is as if you discard all of the above and there remains an empty, meaningless film and where there are only purely senseless situations with Characters so soulless and not funny. It's cancer, you could only save the aesthetics they gave you, and the scenarios, but the script does not exist, nor an outcome, no coherence. I finished seeing it because I hoped something would happen in it, and no.
