The Royal Tenenbaums

Day 73 - 3/14/09 - Movie #70

BEFORE: Staying up late on Friday night/Saturday morning to watch this - this will complete my viewing of all of Wes Anderson's films.

THE PLOT: An estranged family of former child prodigies reunites when their father announces he has a terminal illness.

AFTER: Quirky, yes, but also heartwarming in its own way, seeing Gene Hackman's character tryinng to redeem himself and reconnect with his children. Definitely better than "Life Aquatic" but a notch below "Darjeeling Limited". Good performances from Ben Stiller and the Wilson Brothers, but Gwyneth Paltrow? Too moody...

RATING: 7 out of 10 spotted mice
