	The DVD Journal Reviews : The Royal Tenenbaums: The Criterion Collection
		Anderson (Wes) approaches the Tenenbaums like an aficionado of exotic butterflies: gently capturing them, marveling at their unique beauty, patiently examining their odd habits, and finally coming to an understanding of who they are, how they work, and why.
		But as Anderson (Wes) introduces the brilliant and bizarre Tenenbaum family, he gradually, and jarringly, bites through the candied coating of his eccentric and dazzling production detail for a frank, tender consideration of each family member's self-destructive desperations.
		Anderson's screenplay (co-written by Owen Wilson, who also appears as Tenenbaum family-tagalong and mediocre literary sensation Eli Cash) is brimming with fresh and funny details.

	The Horse: Wes Anderson interview
		While Anderson's screenwriting skill is beyond question (as recognised by the Academy's nod to him and his friend, co-writer and cast member Owen Wilson), and his film-making technique firmly established by Rushmore, Tenenbaums was his first crack at working with big-name talent.
		The Horse talks to Wes Anderson about Rushmore
		Anderson's in Berlin on the Tenenbaums promotional tour of Europe and, as you might perhaps expect, he looks a little different to his rivals - with his bespectacled, sharp-featured face and clingfilm-on-bone physique, it's tempting to draw all sorts of playground conclusions about him, and why his films are populated with difficult, intelligent outsiders.

		Wilson, for his part, seems to be the one who dropped out of the writing partnership with Anderson.
		For a recent example of Wilson's verbal counterpunching, see the letter he wrote to The New Yorker in response to a takedown of Ben Stiller.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE ROYAL TENEBAUMS movie by Wes Anderson with Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Al Thompson, voice of Alec Baldwin. written by Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson
		A few years back, Wes Anderson made a big splash with "Rushmore," the hysterically funny story of a high-school overachiever who peaked too early to handle his life, got into a lot of trouble, had his ego broken down, and then found a way to make his life and the lives around him better.
		Anderson's characters are so gleefully serious in their behavior, either somehow oblivious or just incredibly comfortable with the hyperbole in their lives, that the actors in the film become free to elevate their performances and create real, somehow believable people out of totally dysfunctional characters.
		Recalling "Rushmore's" yearbook sequence, Anderson starts the film off with an expanded, hilarious prologue introducing the young geniuses and documenting their rise to fame and the insane treatment they were afforded by their father.

	The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Wes Anderson): Bill Murray Owen Wilson Cate Blanchett Anjelica Huston
		Wes Anderson’s decision to put his movie on Murray’s bare shoulders and torso is a total misfire, for the most interesting things about The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou are the bizarre details along the periphery of plot and picture.
		Anderson’s characters are always doing something, and every now and then those bits of business that take place in the background are quite funny—especially if compared to what is happening in the foreground.
		Crises and red herrings (such as the mystery behind Zissou’s “son”) are thrown into the narrative mix, but those turn out to be mere distractions, leading nowhere in terms of plot or character development.
