“In anything. But man was he great in this movie. I mean it was such a good performance. This movie is director Wes Andersonu0026#39;s (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic) feature directorial debut. Itu0026#39;s about a group of misfit friends that decide to take up a life of crime. The group includes Anthony (Luke Wilson) just got out of the nut house and is searching for himself. Dignan (Owen Wilson, co-wrote the movie with Anderson) is the confident but bumbling ringleader who wants to be notorious but doesnu0026#39;t know how to execute a plan to save his life. And Bob (Robert Musgrave) the driver/look out who just wants a little recognition. The movie follows their misadventures of them robbing a bookstore, going on the lamb, Anthony falling in love with a Motel maid who instills joy back in his life, and Dignanu0026#39;s u0026#39;big scoreu0026#39; that involves his former employer. The subtle humor and deliveries by the actors make the movie stand out in itu0026#39;s own little version comedy. The characters are losers, but lovable. You canu0026#39;t help but cheer them on even though what they do is illegal. I highly recommend this cool little film. Itu0026#39;s an excellent introduction into the wonderful films of Wes Anderson.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRATING: **** out of ****”
