Must-See.

+1

Can't wait for it to come out on BluRay.

:doesntgototheartersanymore:

BTW - Never was a fan of Adrien Brody until I saw Darjeeling Limited, now I cannot wait to see him in this movie.

Man, this movie was a rollicking good time. Anderson is hit or miss to me, but when he hits, he hits it out of the park. This was Anderson at his 'Bill Mazeroski Game 7 bottom of the ninth World Series winning home run' best. I highly recommend this movie.

Wow -- my 2 movie pals and I thought it was very amusing and appealing, but nowhere near the level of Moonrise Kingdom (which I think was as close to genuinely Fellini-esque as an American director has come yet).

Agreed. Good, but not even in Wes Anderson's top 5 IMO.

Saw an ad for this the other day and knew it was a Wes Anderson flick after about 5 seconds.

Winner takes it all, loser takes a fall.

That movie is filled with pedophile images.

I think this fell flat at the end. It had some seriously great filmmaking moments, but the ending was not very good at all.

Ralph Fiennes and the Zero character were great, but the first half of the movie was much much better than the last. Excellent cast wasted in my opinion.
