September 2, 2009Gene Hackman really steals the show in this great film. It's probably Anderson's weakest film to date as it does meander towards the end, but its still brilliant. Anderson knows how to get the best out of his cast!

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's proof that Anderson and his writing partner, the actor Owen Wilson, have a gift of cockeyed genius. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
That it works is due to director Wes Anderson, who has made something eccentric and hilarious that can suddenly -- or maybe not for hours or even days later -- choke you up with emotion. full review
