THE DARJEELING LIMITED, (PRONOUNCED, "NOT AS GOOD AS THE ROYAL TENNEMBAUMS") IS ADEQUATE. THE COMBINATION OF ANDERSON AND WILSON NEVER FAILS TO PRODUCE THAT INTELLIGENT, SUBTLE HUMOUR WE'VE ALL COME TO EXPECT. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN NOT GETTING WHAT YOU EXPECT. FOR EXAMPLE, "LISTEN BABE, I'M SLIDING UP THE BED AND I EXPECT YOU TO KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE SAME PLACE, CREATING AN EFFECT SCIENTISTS REFER TO AS: MEGETTINGBLOWN." I'M ALSO FASCINATED BY ADRIEN BRODY'S NOSE. I COULD WATCH THAT THING TAKE UP HALF THE SCREEN IN ANY MOVIE AND BE AMUSED. THIS IS THE STORY OF THREE BROTHERS RE-UNITING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A YEAR AFTER THEIR FATHER'S FUNERAL. THE PLACE OF RECONCILIATION IS INDIA. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
1. OWEN WILSON CALLING INDIAN KIDS ASSHOLES
2. NATALIE PORTMAN NAKED
3. INDIANS BEING INDIANS
4. NATALIE PORTMAN'S ASS. (SEE #3)
BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS WES ANDERSON'S WORST MOVIE SO FAR BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BAD. IT'S JUST THAT HIS OTHERS ARE SO DAMN GOOD.
