Review of Bottle Rocket (1996) by Patryk C — 23 Sep 2012

Wes Anderson's first movie surely generates a lot of laughs. This pleasurable, little comedy shows some facetious adventures of three friends, right after they decide to rob a book shop. They drive away in order to wait for the whole situation to go into oblivion.

While on the run, one of them meets a true love in the figure of a motel housekeeper. After the boys run out of money they come back to their hometown, just to get drawn into another intrigue involving a heist.

Wes Anderson's peculiar filmmaking style overweights the substance here, making the movie very inviting. Good start to a great career.
