Captures a lot of what I love about Wes Anderson movies, I was thoroughly entertained.
And I for one will never get bored of the visual aesthetic and offbeat nature of his movies. The humor mostly worked for me in this.
However I feel like his most recent films simply have way more stale/uninteresting characters compared to Tenenbaums, Zissou, Fantastic Mr. Fox, etc.
