Synopsis

Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited stars Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody as three brothers who, at the insistence of the oldest, take a train ride through India together in order to strengthen their bond. Even though the vacation goes wrong in ways they do not anticipate, the strangeness of their setting and some revealing honesty produces some surprising changes between them all. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Superb! Not as comedic as usual, but it gives his traditional sobering tastes of reality through subtle and witty methods. Got to love Wes Anderson!

MAJOR YAWN!!!! This is a waste of time, dumb, dumb, dumb movie. Normally, I love Adrien Brody. I don't know what he was thinking, doing this total piece of fluff with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. Owen Wilson has never been one of my favorites and his participation in this piece of nothing has not improved his standing in my eyes.

The story is disjointed, the acting is spotty (what else could it be, given what they have to work with?). The comedy is strained, at best. There is an overwhelming fondness for the color yellow. The natives are badly (hardly?) portrayed. And the two actors who might have contributed something substantial (Angelica Huston and Bill Murray) had little more than cameos. I don't think Bill Murray ever uttered a word....

The New York Film Critics must have been paying off a heavy debt when they awarded this movie a Best Screenplay Award.

My husband was watching this movie with me and he took off to go to bed halfway through with no regrets.

Unless you like total nonsensical drivel that meanders every which way, I recommend you give this movie a pass. I would have, if I had known.
