It seems that with this movie, you either get it and love it, or you don't get it and hate it. There is no in between. It is by far not an in your face comedy, but a very subtle comedy. It is now one of my favorite movies and if you give it a chance, it might be yours too.

I can't believe the number of people who hated this movie! There are so many I had to laugh :-) I wonder if they also saw and hated The Royal Tenenbaums? You have to like subtle, totally off-beat humor to enjoy this film, as well as the Tenenbaums. Both movies made me laugh like hell! and the soundtracks are fantastic. I actually thought Bill Murray should have been nominated for an oscar for this film rather than Broken Flowers. And to the director.... Mr. Anderson? If you're reading this, would you do me a favor and make another movie as enjoyable, and as wonderful as the two I've been raving about for the past 20 seconds? Thanks so much, Renee' from PA

This movie is brilliant and you will either love it or hate it. Wes Anderson creates movies that require a deeper intelligence and appriciation for the arts and some people who don't think that way will not like this movie. Darjeeling Limited and The Royal Tennenbaums also fall int he catagory of Wes Anderson's brilliance!!

This was great fun and visually fanciful. A wonderful treat! I want a "Crayon Puff Seahorse" of my own too. Wes Anderson rocks.

Not one of Bill Murray's better movies (in my opinion). Entertaining enough.

Thought it was rather boring and wished had lived up to the directors other movies.

I just did not care for this movie. I understood the plot and saw the vague attempt at humor, but was just bad.

I like movies that are unpredictable and a little odd, but some of this flick is just weird for the sake of weird. Maybe it's funny if you're on drugs...but since I wasn't it was just OK. (I assume ...

I like movies that are unpredictable and a little odd, but some of this flick is just weird for the sake of weird. Maybe it's funny if you're on drugs...but since I wasn't it was just OK. (I assume the director was on drugs when he made it, probably most of the big name cast as well.) Bill Murray is the ONLY reason to see this movie. If you like him you will be able to stomach this weird-fest, if not you'll probably hate it with a passion.
