THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001)


Now this is what I would love to call ‘One of the finest and cutest entertainers ever made on American family’. Oh, I love to watch anything with so refreshing humour even second time any given day! After a long time watched a film where not a single moment makes me felt bore or dragging one. It has everything you expect from a well made film- brilliantly written and narrated script based on amazing family characters. It’s a tale of disintegrated doomed Tenenbaum family reuniting to ignite the spark of relationship under one roof after 17 long years.

Wes Anderson sketched the wonderful characters with their personal traits, idiosyncrasies, and secret stories unknown to others. And its fine comic writing and timing without being too loud, too crass or too dark anywhere and yet successfully bringing the genuine humor on screen. Must say its not possible without absolutely stellar cast- Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelica Huston, Own Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover and absolutely the brilliant act by Gene Hackman as Royal Tenenbaum and his worth mentioning love-hate servant Pagoda played by Kumar Pallana. Will soon catch Anderson’s two other well acclaimed earlier films- ‘Bottle Rocket’ and ‘Rushmore’ and I'm damn sure it will be worth watching and enjoying.   

Ratings-8/10
