Review of Bottle Rocket (1996) by Jay L — 09 Jun 2009
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. Easily my favorite from Wes Anderson. It has almost no structure whatsoever, but it doesn't matter because every scene is hilarious is its own way. I think Owen Wilson basically reprised this role in The Darjeeling Limited - but it works better here.
Love the Inez plotline SO much, the language barrier is so funny. I think Wes Anderson's composition has come a long way since this film - and it definitely shows. Unfortunately, this might be his best story and his best characters.
And it sort of makes sense - you don't have to work for a meaning at the end.
