 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Wes Anderson): Bill Murray Owen Wilson Cate Blanchett Anjelica Huston   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Those who roll in the aisles laughing whenever Bill Murray raises a tired eyebrow, or when he indicates boredom through sideway glances, or when he sighs with the air of someone who’s seen it all, will love The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Bill Murray, of course, is not Cary Grant, but Murray has done excellent work in the past when he stretched his bored-to-death persona to psychotic extremes—as in his paranoid puppeteer in Tim Robbins’s otherwise dismal Cradle Will Rock.
Zissou assembles a crew that includes, at one point or another, Ned Plimpton (Owen Wilson), a man who claims to be his son; a somewhat ditzy journalist, Jane Winslett-Richardson (Cate Blanchett); Pelé dos Santos, a guitar-playing Brazilian (Seu Jorge); Zissou’s estranged wife, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston), and several students on a quest for college credits.
