Summary: You either love it, or hate it.
Review: This film seems to evoke either love or hate. I rented it and found it brilliant, purchased it, and watched it with my wife. She found it boring and tedious. I would recommend renting it first to see if it fits your tastes. If you find Errol Morris funny, this film will probably appeal to you. If you thought "Road Trip" was hilarious, you'll probably be bored.

Summary: Not For Everyone
Review: I loved this movie! It was original, fresh and provoking. It definitely follows along the same genre as Rushmore. The characters are so rich with personality, quirkiness and madness - I loved it. I thought Gene Hackman did a wonderful job as a father that would if he could..all the actors in the movie did a fantastic job.If you love originality, off beat humor and something different definitely get this. Otherwise, stick to Sandler movies for more obvious humor. I've recommended this movie to people who don't get quirky humor so it is good to ask yourself before purchasing if you like mainstream humor and that's it..if so- don't get this. The storyline is interesting and it's storybook approach is adorable and intriguing. It's a must see if you are a Bill Murray fan or loved Rushmore.

Summary: very disappointed
Review: I am very disappointed with this movie. Its just boring. I'm a big fan of Ben Stiller and I was hoping to see a good flick, but I didnt. Probably one of the worst ive seen in a long time. If you dont believe me, I at least reccomend that you rent it before you waste your money on this.

Summary: Anderson and Wilson are brilliant.
Review: My husband and I have a running argument over which is better - Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums. Although they are both works of genius, The Royal Tennenbaums is indeed my favorite. The subtle characters and witty dialogue are beyond comparison. God is indeed in the details, from the paintings in Eli's living room to the 375th Street Y. The Royal Tenenbaums is sublime; it's at a level of quality that all movies should aspire to reach. In addition, the criterion collection DVD allows you to see just how much thought and preparation went into every aspect of the movie, especially the details of the set. I highly recommend owning this DVD.

Summary: Not for everyone...but
Review: Granted, this movie's humour might not be for everyone - when I saw it in the theatre two people walked out and an older woman next to me asked me "what was THAT about?" when the movie was over. However, I love Wes Anderson's sense of humour and the film's quirkiness. Give it a shot if only to see the always marvelous Gene Hackman as the patriarch Royal Tenenbaum.

Summary: I was completely bored!!
Review: Based on so many rave reviews on this movie, not to mention a cast of actors I adore, I almost bought it on DVD sight unseen. Fortunately for my pocketbook, I rented first. I was completely shocked at how boring and utterly mindless this movie was. I did not even get a smile from it, much less a laugh, and I have a pretty broad sense of humor. My favorite comedy of recent years is As Good As It Gets, but I also like popcorn flicks such as Ms Congeniality, Meet the Parents, & Legally Blond. Even comedies such as Mr. Deeds, MIB II, and Goldmember, which were bombed by critics, had laughs in them. Do yourself a favor and RENT FIRST!

Summary: The Ultimate Offbeat, Dark, Quirky Movie
Review: I have been forever searching for the ultimate dark comedy that went above and beyond all the others. A few came close, but this is the film I was waiting for the whole time! Most dark comedies usually take place all at night, which is fun for a while, but gets old. Just because a movie has a twisted sense of humor, doesn't mean it has to be night all the time! This is the movie that steps aside and says, "Like me for what I am. I'm different."
The whole cast shines in the film that finally fufills dark comedy lovers. I don't recall a single scene that is dark, the whole film is presented in bright, beautiful pastels. It's certainly not for everyone, it is more than twisted. It makes you laugh and cry without trying. My personal favorite character was Chas (Ben Stiller) not just because I like him as an actor, but because his charcter had so much depth and layers. Although, I'm not saying anything bad about everybody else.
The DVD is just what the film deserved...bulky, beautiful, and loaded with extras. We get the full widescreen here, not some cheap immitation. Everything is great, and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. When this film was originally released, I had wanted to see it, but never got around to doing so. I would actually like to thank Daniel Radcliffe (a.k.a. Harry Potter) for reccomending this, because I had forgotten all about it. It's a shame this movie wasn't all that big. Definitely a love-it or hate-it movie. But do beware there are some really awkward situations concerning love, depression, drugs, and suicide, but don't let that stop you. If you are looking for a change of pace and something so delightfully new, then see The Royal Tenenbaums!
