Wow. I absolutely loved this movie, as did my roommate. Did you like Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums?
I thought the plot was very unique and off the wall (which = very good in my book), the comedy was top notch! a superb line up for actors who did a beautiful job. We're talking Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Anejelica Huston, Willem Dafoe, and Jeff Goldblum. And there was this Brazillian fellow, Seu Jorge, who was playing acoustic covers of David Bowie all throughout the movie. It was hilarious!! As for the special effects and cinematogrophy; these were also very unique and bizarre, and added to the overall mood of the film. It was a comedy bordering on dark comedy. It was totally bizarre, which made me love it that much more.
