Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) by Lyn — 20 May 2014
Enjoyed "The Grand Budapest Hotel," though it won't be anywhere near the top of my "best of Wes Anderson" list. Visually, it's totally delightful, and Ralph Fiennes amps up his character nicely.
But the slapstick bits go on and on ... and most of the "big name" actors have little more than cameos. Unlike "Royal Tenenbaums," you don't look at someone like a Gwyneth Paltrow or a Ben Stiller and say, "Wow, I've never seen that person quite like this before.
" And it doesn't create the quirky magic of "Moonrise Kingdom," which was probably my favorite film that year. Still, a fun time.
