'Bottle Rocket' felt like it was running on fumes for me, the conclusion is an improvement on what procedes but it doesn't quite do enough to salvage my feelings towards this Wes Anderson feature directorial debut. With that noted, I didn't explicitly dislike it either. Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson make their acting bows, quite interesting that the brothers don't actually portray brothers; kinda refreshing to see, actually. Robert Musgrave and James Caan are also involved. Owen is the standout in my opinion, though the main trio are on a similar-ish level. It coulda done with more laughs, but that's obviously a personal thing - no doubt many will find it funny, just not me; albeit with a few chuckles scattered in there. It also isn't the most Wes Anderson-y film, with his signature MO evidently not quite fully developed yet (as expected, tbf).

Wes Anderson's first and the weakest by far, you don't care what happens to the characters since you don't care

This is the definition of a great small flick and if you want a film that can have you in stitches in one scene and then make you feel sad in the next then you'll love it. The film revolves around two men who want to perform a series of robberies but the issue is they aren't very good at it and they are definitely not mentally stable enough to be doing them, literally that is the plot of the film and though simple it actually has some pretty good twists and turns. Both Luke Wilson (Anthony Adams) and Owen Wilson (Dignan) were flawless in this film as you love these two characters and you just want to see them both happy though they keep making bad decisions, also I am a sucker for love and the relationship between Luke Wilson (Anthony Adams) / Lumi Cavazos (Inez) is lovely. I couldn't give it a higher rating because the film wasn't long enough in my opinion and I can tell it was done on a tiny budget, but Wes Anderson really shows why he is one of the greats in this because with the little he had he made a film that I would say anyone can enjoy.

>I'm sorry, That was poor management.

It's a nice quirky little film. Pretty good for Wes Anderson's directorial debut. The Wilson brother are fun but Owen really plays the interesting character.
