1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   Like most of Wes Anderson’s film, the dialogue is very dead-pan which doesn’t really always provide for alot of emotional range. However, most of these actors pull it off perfectly, notably Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, and Cate Blanchett.

5. Male Stars Really Great 4.5

   Bill Murray – excellent
   Owen Wilson – not annoying (which is about as good as he gets for me)

6. Female Stars Really Great 4.5

   Both female stars are excellent

7. Female Costars Really Great 4.5

   Only female costars are minor characters

   Willem Dafoe – hilarious
   Jeff Goldblum – good
