Summary: My Lord Ganesha.
Comment: There is a moment in this movie that literally took the breath out of me. The three of them are sitting infront of a fire and you hear Claude Debussy's Claire de Lune and Owen says, "Let's get high" and they're in India. And I just felt like, god, I dunno, it was a transcendental moment for me. Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, I can't even find words.

Summary: Dumb and stupid, at the same time
Comment: I just went on this site to see if I wasn't the only one who wasted his/her time watching this movie.
The dialogue sucks. I can't see how any fictitious character would enjoy Owen Wilson's company. Are we supposed to think he's charming???.
The story is equivalent in sucking as it is to Owen Wilson's "character". Boring, dumb and stupid. They are on a "spiritual journey" which includes them getting into some of the most uninteresting, plain, dull mishaps, I have seen in any movie. Watch it to see for yourself, or just read the other reviews that state how BORING it was.
Jason schwartzman, who helped write this, does have 1 clever piece of dialogue near the end of the movie, asking his brother's opinion on a book which he has only written the ending for. The "short story" he wrote, is hilarious, and kind of out of place for this movie, because nothing else was at all as funny as that.

Summary: Not one of Wes' great ones...
Comment: I just finished watching this....unfortunately. I really like Wes Anderson and had high hopes for this movie but I was completely bored. I should also mention that I like all types of movies, meaning not just Hollywood blockbusters, but this one left much to be desired.
Quirky, yes. Interesting, no. Fortunately I caught this one on cable and I would not buy it nor would I pay to rent it either. Forgive me if this review is in disagreement with the others that rave about the film, but I just did not like it.

Summary: another movie about white people saving brown people
Comment: Yes, this movie is humorous and entertaining, but towards the end I stopped laughing because I was so annoyed and bothered by basically everything, especially the fact that the brothers never acknowledge their white privilege. These are some of the main points that bothered me in the movie:
1. The trivialized portrayal of poverty in India. It is shown in a way that makes white people feel comfortable--by not portraying it at all.
2. White people acting as saviors to brown people
a. When the brothers save the kids
b. When the mother says "They need me" when the brothers try to get her to leave
3. Exotification of India--yes India exists for white people to take spiritual journeys, buy lots of cool exotic goods, and have sexual encounters with their women.
4. how white privilege allows them to step in and out of a third world country and only take and see what is useful to them
5. how rich white people can afford to take vacations for months at a time and throw away all their luggage because they can buy everything again. Yes, I understand Anderson's cliche baggage ending but you get the point.

Summary: Pefectly Crafted
Comment: Once in a while a movie comes along that rejuvinates my motivation to become a director and gives me hope that movies are not a dead medium. This is one of those movies. Perfectly crafted starting at the casting of Adrian Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Scwartzman. They all play outstanding roles of Brothers who meet up on a Toutist Train in India after a long hiatus from seeing each other to venture on a spiritual journey to see thier estranged mother.
The choice for this movie to take place entirely in India (minus the flashback) was a wonderful selection. India acts as the fourth main character in this movie with its beautiful architecture and interesting inhabitants. The Colorful backdrops and culture make this movie what it is.
Offbeat humor and wry remarks make this a funny but not hillarious movie, as with most wes anderson movies. This is not a movie that tries hard to make you laugh, you either get it or you don't.
Wes Anderson accurately captures the emotional distance that often occurs when you reunite with people youve known your whole life and dont have much to say to each other and the problems that arise when you have no other choice.
The highlight of the movie to most is the flashback in the garage in New York. Perfectly executed and well timed by all three actors. The soundtrack is superb as well. One of the best movies Ive seen all year.
