Ahhh Wes Anderson, king of the kooky and current resident on my banned director list, along with the likes of M Night and Guy Ritchie (though the latter has made an impossible escape just recently) and this is the film that got him there. Lets face it, his best film the Tennanbuams is only a 7/10 due to the presence of Gene Hackman. After hating everything I'd seen, particularly his singular, angular, hipster over substance style, this, yet again inexplicably acclaimed annoyance proved - to this date - the final straw for me. The high score of six here must've been my medication - it's awful.
