I couldn't stop laughing for any particular reason. It was everything you expect from a Wes Anderson flick, the absurd caricatures, the biting satire, the meaningless novelties exaggerated, the endless dead panning, only with flawless cinematography and a surprisingly pensive Bruce Willis drinking beer with a kid discussing the meanings of life. Of course, I was disappointed with what they did to Bill Murray, I haven't felt that bad for a character of his since Lost in Translation.. I'm glad I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about it because I might not have watched it otherwise. Also it was great to finally see a Wes Anderson movie without the Wilson brothers, as much as I loved The Royal Tennanbaums and enjoyed The Darjeeling Express tremendously, Anderson needed a change of pace.
