First, Wes Anderson needs to let us in on his little inside jokes. The humor is so quiet and subtle, not to mention sparse, that one needs to pay close attention for fear of missing it.

The characters development is shallow and ultimately they're uninteresting and disposable. In fact, the main character is Anderson's little diorama of a boat. We spend two hours following these people in the hopes that they'll grow on us, but only a hour after finishing the film I've forgotten their names.

It was a horrible movie. Avoid.

:thumbsdown:

Well God forbid anyone ever be forced to actually..pay attention in a movie.

I liked this movie. I've never seen any of Wes Anderson's other flicks. The music was absolutely perfect for this type of movie.

The previews looked BAD.

I had planed on avoiding it, but thanks for the heads up.

I saw Gigli for free and it was still a waste of my time. I doubt The Life Aquatic could be worse.

I went to the movies today, and I can say for a fact this is the first movie I ever walked out on. The part that bothered me was I couldn't even get my money back. With so many great actors in this film, you'd expect they could do much better, but it failed me in every way.
