Review of Bottle Rocket (1996) by Stephen G — 04 Oct 2009

I discovered this movie accidentally at a grocery store near my house in '96. I rented it for 99 cents and never laughed so hard in my life. I had to stop it several times because I was laughing so hard.

I still haven't had a similar experience with an "impulse rent" like that. This is my personal favorite comedy. I know it isn't necessarily for everybody. I have tried and failed many times to get others to see it like I do .

The problem now is that the Wilson brothers are famous and familiar. This was their first film and seeing them for the first time made it that much better. Wes Anderson continues to be one of my favorite directors.
