Summary: This was an awful movie
Review: With this star-studded cast, I expected so much more.
However, with this story the flaws were gaping.
This is the ultimate disfunctional family with damaged adult children. Every nuance of their behavior was to the max. There was no sublety, no inuendos, nothing. Those who were a villian, were always a villian. Those who were nice, continued to be nice. No mystery here.You felt not one iota of sympathy nor identity, with any of the characters. If you did, you have problems. It wasn't funny. It was a bore. I watched the whole movie waiting, just waiting for it to get better. It didn't.
Little made much sense, however, given the experience of the actors the acting was superb. However, they had little if nothing to work with. What a waste.

Summary: A Literate Movie
Review: ROYAL TENENBAUMS is a fine piece of literature. If you don't like to read, skip this movie! But if you are literate and appreciate good writing, this film is the experience of reading a classic piece of modern fiction, brought to the screen.

Summary: What a bummer!
Review: When a person rents a video that has the names of such actors/actresses as Gene Hackman, Danny Glover, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc... well, you expect to see something at least "a little worth watching". Gene Hackman is one of my very best favorite actors. I couldn't believe he would stoop to make a movie like this one. How sad. My advice, don't bother with this one. I wish I hadn't.

Summary: The Most Boring Film of 2001 and The Most Boring DVD of 2002
Review: I rented The Royal Tenenbaums becuase I heard that it was really funny and that the critics liked it. Well the cast is good but the movie is far from good. I almost fell asleep. This film is not funny what-so-ever and I didn't like how it was directed. The one star is for the cast and becuase the stars don't go any lower than one. Vanilla Sky which was relesed the same day in theaters wasn't really liked by critics but it was 100 times better than this movie. The picture and sound quailty are good. The extras I didn't even watch becuase I wasn't going to waste anymore time on this film. The film is about a family of highly neurotic geniuses. They all go there own ways but when they hear that their father is dying they all go to his house to spend their time with him in his last weeks. Not everbody gets along though so they have trouble all getting to love one another. If you really want to see this just rent it becuase it is not worth the buy. Well have fun sleeping becuase you will when you watch this film.

Summary: Nap Time
Review: This movie was just horrible. I actually turned it off before the end. I am a huge Ben Stiller fan but this movie was such a disappointment. Don't buy it. Don't rent it. Don't watch it.

Summary: Not For Everyone
Review: The first time I saw The Royal Tenenbaums I was utterly blown away: by the subtle humor, the costumes and set decorations, the music. I sat in awe of the multitude of minute character touches that sculpted these enthralling, if warped, individuals. Gene Hackman and Gwyneth Paltrow give stand out performances, driving the pace of the entire story. I went to see the movie with two of my best friends, in a packed theater opening week and noticed right away something was wrong. We were the only ones laughing.
Most of the humor in the movie stems from the fact that a majority of the main characters are played with calm stoicism, making the interplay between them and the other characters funny. If you are a fan of fast paced, frenetic, physical comedy, you will find the movie tiresomely boring.
But, if you are a fan of subdued wit and fascinating characters, watch this thoroughly enjoyable film.

Summary: One of the Best Films of The Year!
Review: This movie can be described as one amazing experience. The more you watch the movie more you fall in love with it. The acting in The Royal Tenenbaums is simply amazing. This movie impels you through every possible emotion imaginable while never letting you sustain a solitary one. The geniuses of Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson have produced another unbelievable masterpiece. Some people have a hard time following the exquisite storytelling of Anderson. He is a filmmaker you either "get" or you don't. A must buy for people who can see beyond the traditional comedy.

Summary: Waste of 110 Good Minutes
Review: I really expected this to be a good movie with all the good actors in it. What it turned out to be was one of those movie's that started out bad, and ended up worse. I would have turned it off 20 minutes into the movie if it wasn't for the cast, I kept hoping it would get better. It did not. I'm glad I watched this one at a friends house as a rental and didn't waste the money on buying it.

Summary: WHAT WAS BEN STILLER THINKING? Boring & A Waste of Time!
Review: I am a huge Ben Stiller fan and although I admit that there are some things he's done that I haven't liked (this one tops the list) even HE, the sketch comedy genius, couldn't rescue this sad, sad movie! Like the one guy said.. give it a chance! A chance to bore you to tears that is!! I bought this movie (shame on me!)... Looking at the all-star cast I thought that it had to have SOME redeaming quality. The first time I watched it I wasn't able to give it my full attention (like the one guys suggests). SOooooo I decided to give it another go... I'm a pretty bright person so I tried to examine this so-called subtle humor. Once again, I was bored to tears, wishing this movie that seemed to run for hours would just end. Please... do yourself a favor and do not waste your money or your time, and certainly don't subject anyone else to this movie. Unless you have a knack for liking very odd and boring movies that everyone else hates, you'll probably hate this one too. This doesn't even deserve a space on my movie shelf! ** IF YOU WANNA SEE SOME GREAT BEN STILLER STUFF... GET YOUR HANDS ON THE BEN STILLER SHOW. GREAT SKETCH COMEDY.. YOU'LL LAUGH SO HARD YOU'LL CRY!!
