Movie Reviews of Bottle Rocket
Movie Review: Bob Maplethorpe- potential getaway driver-GO!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bottle Rocket is the Cat's Pajamas. I smile everytime I think about it. As many have pointed out, this film must be seen multiple times to really enjoy it. This is absolutely true. It took me two viewings to truly appreciate its brilliance.The DVD features are limited, but its nice to have it on Widescreen. Maybe Criterion will give this the wonderful treatment they gave to Rushmore. This would be the perfect chance for us fans to finally see the 13-minute short film version the boys initially took to Sundance. (I know, I'm a dreamer, but it could happen.)
I feel I must encourage everyone to buy this DVD because, sadly, this film didn't even make back its budget in its theatrical run.
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught this movie on TV by accident the first time I saw it, and thought it was so hilarious. I kept saying "What is this movie?!" I had never heard of it, but since I love the low-key humor of both the Owen boys, I was curious. It is fantastic; silly, off-beat and just fun to watch. Made me want to run out and buy yellow coveralls! It's just so quirky and clever that you never lose interest or stop laughing. Definitley along the same lines of movies like Rushmore and Royal Tennanbaums. Every joke is played straight-faced and so seriously that it just makes the characters even funnier; they don't have any clue how ridiculous it all is. The ending is great, too. Worth a watch!Movie Review: Best of Wes Anderson's Big 4
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1996 movie is the best of Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson's movies. It begins hilariously with Dignan, masterfully played by Owen Wilson, convincing his friend to pathetically follow him into a life of ridiculous petty theft. It turns into a cute love story showcasing the traditional coming of age type love story as well as Dignan's love for his friend, played by Luke Wilson. The humor is similar to that of slightly lesser movies, "Rushmore" (which ranks #2) and "The Royal Tannenbaums (#3), in that you have to laugh at just how petty and uncaring the characters are. The most recent of the Anderson/Wilson movies, "The Life Aquatic," does not hold to this movie, nor Rushmore and Royal.Movie Review: Exploding Fun.
Summary: 5 Stars
I find that the best films are the ones that can reset your mood and this is definitely the case with "Bottle Rocket." It's not a very serious story but it is, in a strange way, touching and valuable. It was the first we saw of the famous Wilsons and Owen is tremendous in his debut. As a viewer, you'll feel as free as the characters as they go driving through the countryside in this sunny, clever movie. Some of its dialogue and interplay between the characters is a portend of what is soon to come in their masterpiece, "The Royal Tannenbaums." "Bottle Rocket" is like an awesome band's first record; its full of promise and you can see signs of the greatness which is to come.Movie Review: Birth of A Briliant Movie Maker!
Summary: 5 Stars
Possibly Wes Anderson's funniest movie. Its characters were flimsy fluts trying to become big time with a lack of direction and mental capacity. They made me laugh and laugh again. They just weren't clued in to the same channel that everyone else was watching. And there lies the brilliants behind Anderson's movies. He takes a character and gives him a gung-ho attitude about wierd and trivial things-and everyone else takes these characters seriously. It is unique. The colors of this movie shine, the jokes punctuate and the acting was off the wall. I recommened this movie to anyone who is searching for a new type of humor developed from some very funny men.
