🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The comedy engine runs smoothly — pace, timing, situational hits. This isn't high comedy, but high comedy isn't what's needed here.

Half the jokes land, half don't — that's a normal result for the genre. The important thing is the film doesn't try to seem smarter than it is. Respect for that.

Works for a broad audience on Friday night. Not for those seeking satire or depth.

Director: Wes Anderson
