The beginning of the quirky plot and cast formula typical of director Wes Anderson. If you enjoy other Wes Anderson and Bill Murray films, you'd probably enjoy this one. Quirky characters prevail over societal norms with persistence and super-hero level determination. If you enjoy the somewhat smug and silly style of Ferris Bueller's Day Off you'd enjoy this one too. Some of Wes Anderson's later films, like A Life Aquatic and Hotel Budapest got the quirky formula better than this earliest full-length film by a young Wes Anderson. A fun, feel-good comedy for teens and up.
