Bottle Rocket

Day 27 - 1/27/09 - Movie #28

BEFORE: I loved "Darjeeling" so much, I thought I'd watch Wes Anderson's first film, starring Luke and Owen Wilson. I remember hearing good things about it...

THE PLOT: A trio of friends have an elaborate plan to pull off a simple robbery and go on the run.

AFTER: Well, it didn't have the same heart behind it that "Darjeeling" did, just the same quirkiness and dialogue style. It's hard sometimes to connect with criminal characters on an emotional level, even quirky careless ones. There's not a lot of point to this film, it feels like someone's first film, but it also feels like a good Sundance-style film.

RATING: 4 out of 10 firecrackers
