mvie mu-1110822: Proving that a dysfunctional family is any family with more than one member

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 02:24:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicc - Wes Anderson is a very unique director. He has a excellent blend of comedy and drama that have a great flow while providing terrific characterization. He has made four films and I have yet to see his first two. His last two both do a fine job of...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bigwank666 - That is how horrible this movie was, this is the bottom of the bottom of stupid awful movies, its like the director said "hmm, let me get an all-star cast yet still manage to make a boring stupid movie" and he succeeded!! "let me take hilarious people...

mvie mu-1110822: A visually pleasing view of dysfunction

Wed, 12 Jul 2006 18:15:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flipperoid - The Royal Tenenbaums is one of those films with huge dysfunctional families coming together in turn of events. The film could have been a clichéd, Hollywood family holiday reunion with big names attached, but the cast is quite colorful, with actors we...

Wed, 6 Oct 2004 14:09:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - Since arriving onto the independent film scene in 1995 with the quirky caper film Bottle Rocket, Austin, Texas filmmaker Wes Anderson has been known for his hilarious, sentimental views on the world and life in general. Co-written with actor...

mvie mu-1110822: I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum.

Fri, 27 Aug 2004 03:41:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mimax - Actually, I saw this film quite by accident. I had been jogging 'round Sydney in a bid to avoid going home to my rapidly disintegrating relationship and decided to catch a movie as a time filler. Thus I found myself watching The Royal Tenenbaums in a...

mvie mu-1110822: The Royal Tenenbaums – A Review

Wed, 26 May 2004 09:32:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spamanfa - The first time I watched this film I wasn’t very impressed with it at all. Sure it had its funny moments, and I understood that it was quirky but it just didn’t sit right with me. Having watched it for a second time I think that maybe I was too...

mvie mu-1110822: The Family Where Quirkiness Is King

Tue, 6 Apr 2004 14:44:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furie - Director Wes Anderson has made quite a name for himself: opens with the critically-acclaimed Bottle Rocket (which I haven't seen), follows with the bigger budget Rushmore, and manages to stay quirky and creative, while retaining a sense of...

mvie mu-1110822: The Royal Tenenbaums, Storybook Perfection

Wed, 24 Mar 2004 11:24:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joshg2fl - I’d like to compare Wes Anderson to Alfred Hitchcock. One of the problems I think people have when they watch an Alfred Hitchcock movie is they go into it thinking that they are going to see a horror movie, or at least a movie filled with suspense...

mvie mu-1110822: The Royal Tenenbaums hunt the white whale

Thu, 18 Dec 2003 17:13:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tristero - Call them Ishmael. It should be noted early in "The Royal Tenenbaums" that, like the seafaring school teacher in Moby Dick, fallen tennis prodigy Richie Tenenbaum retreats to a shipboard life after growing worn by the world. In Wes Anderson’s...

mvie mu-1110822: Shining example of dry wit

Mon, 27 Oct 2003 21:42:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gcsp23 - I would like to think that I have an open mind about movies, but upon seeing the commercials for "The Royal Tenenbaums" I had no interest in seeing it. Months went by and a dear friend of mine had mentioned that she had watched it and thought it was one o...

mvie mu-1110822: Grand Royal

Wed, 28 May 2003 17:41:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mel_bushman - I entered the movie realm with expectations never short of surprising or indifferent. The smell of the chairs and the curtains and drapes and of course the popcorn brought immediate feelings (through various sniffer sensibilities) and great,...

mvie mu-1110822: A Royally Good Time

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 02:14:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author georgene - The Royal Tenenbaums, Directed by Wes Anderson and written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson is a black comedy that dares to explore the failures of life and the real emotions not usually glorified on film. A movie where all aspects, acting, directing,...

mvie mu-1110822: The Royal Tenenbaums: a dysfunctional family and film that tries too hard.

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 02:20:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - I really wanted to like this movie.

Now that I've managed to say that, I'm going to toss in a caveat. It's a film that could have been a great film, but for one thing. The main character is such a louse and loser that any bit of...

mvie mu-1110822: Dysfunctional, disinteresting

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 20:10:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lunchbuddy - Owen Wilson wrote a movie once called "Bottle Rocket". It starred himself, his brother, Luke, and some other guy as friends who decide to become thieves. They train for their crimes and decide to start out small. So they rob a public library of, like,...

mvie mu-1110822: A Perfect Family Saga of Weird Timelessness

Sun, 29 Sep 2002 21:16:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - I've had a thing about Ben Stiller for a while; I watch every movie with him I can and I end up disappointed. "Mystery Men," "Zoolander," and whatever else I've seen him in. I repress the memories. I write reviews, then repress it. "The Royal...

mvie mu-1110822: Tenenbaums Royally Bombed Overall

Wed, 21 Aug 2002 22:43:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sandyfl - Ok, so maybe I'm not from the "Old School" of movies, and can't appreciate good ole classic style. But come on, if I see a cast like the one in this movie (Gene Hackman, Danny Glover, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelica Huston, Bill Murray, Owen & Luke Wilson, Ben...

mvie mu-1110822: Wes Anderson's -The Royal Tenenbaums-2001-They Peaked Early

Sat, 17 Aug 2002 01:31:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - This has got to be one of the strangest comedies I’ve seen in the past few years. It is very funny, although decidedly odd. While all the characters in this flick have life created with brilliant brush strokes, like a series of snapshots that define...

mvie mu-1110822: Finally high-brow humor

Thu, 15 Aug 2002 22:18:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daperlman - About me

So this is really my 1st movie review since I have figured out this epinions thing. My favorite kinds of movies are either documentaries or true stories. After all , most true stories are better than fiction. Since this is hard to...

mvie mu-1110822: The Royal Tenenbaums | 2001

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 23:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gabe_ratliff - Wes Anderson, hot young up-and-comer who seems to love rooting his films in the quirky, already struck critical gold with the compelling Rushmore and his first film, Bottle Rocket, as of yet unseen by this reviewer. Rushmore gave...

mvie mu-1110822: Hey! This review has a dent in it! There's another one!

Thu, 25 Jul 2002 14:55:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JuiceJW - Within 5 minutes of my first viewing of Wes Anderson's latest obscurity, "The Royal Tenenbaums" it had made my top 10 all time favorite films.

Within 10 minutes I imagine it had discretely driven its way into my ultimate...

mvie mu-1110822: Royal Tenenbaums

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 14:06:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author amanda_k - Everything about The Royal Tenenbaums was wonderful, but the story. It had a great cast, great acting, great setting, and then the movie started. The Royal Tenenbaums was possibly the longest two hours of my life. It was boring and seemed to never...

mvie mu-1110822: The Ultimate Dysfunctional Family

Sat, 20 Jul 2002 21:20:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mtuairau - This was a very quirky and interesting story about an ultra-rich, highly intelligent family. Well, with the exception of conman/attorney Royal Tenenbaum [Gene Hackman] who just seemed like a fast talker rather than an intellectual. He's crass, full of...

mvie mu-1110822: Memoirs of a Rushmore Hater

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 22:36:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author peterbryan - For all the good feedback Wes Anderson’s second film received, I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy “Rushmore.” I thought there was something wrong with me. The movie was a stylistic gem in all respects, filled with kinetic scenes going to the flow of...

mvie mu-1110822: It Smiles Sweetly: The Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Collection DVD

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 09:50:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunk75 - NOTES ON THE MOVIE

Like "Rushmore", its less sprawling older brother, "The Royal Tenenbaums" enveloped me in a blissful feeling while I was watching it, only to leave me questioning if it was at all substantial once the credits rolled...
