Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

John Ferguson

This agreeably eccentric comedy crime drama marked the debut feature of Wes Anderson. It tells the story of a dopey trio (Luke and Owen Wilson, Robert Musgrave) who bewilderingly think they are cut out for a life in crime. Anderson observes their bungling antics and personality disorders with obvious affection, while continually taking the episodic tale in unexpected directions. The then largely unknown leads deliver expertly judged performances and there's a nice cameo from James Caan. Anderson made even more of an impression with his quirky and sophisticated comedy follow-up Rushmore.
