This is Wes Anderson's first film and it doesn't compare to his later work I am sorry to say. But the fact is that it remains an outstanding film.
It was a very good film filled with some good laughs and was written very well and once again, the Owen brothers steal the show. But more importantly, it was a symbol of what was to come. Since this Wes Anderson has made some amazing films and continues to do so.
It is an interesting film and the best thing is that parts of it just remain blissfully simple such as Anthony's (Luke Wilson) relationship with the maid at their hotel.
Although not the best of Andersons work, it was a very good film, that was very easy to watch and showed the world what Anderson was capable off and he has since proved his worth magnificently.
