Summary: Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins. (Fox Searchlight)
I absolutely despised both The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic - slow, plodding, going nowhere films with no charm. This is miles better. It's beautifully shot, it's casted well (I was never sure about Owen Wilson, but this puts him on the right side of the fence for me) and has a feel good factor running through it. I was disappointed that there's only a very minor appearance from Bill Murray but then going on his form in recent years that may be no bad thing.
Poignant and clever, it bears all the marks of a Wes Anderson film. India lends a saturated colour palette that makes the film a feast for the eyes as well.
My opinion is just that: This doesn't seem to be that comedic, but interesting nonetheless. I was intrigued. While it contains several knee-jerk humorous moments, I felt my mind wondering during the film: to thoughts of possible personal travel in India. Wilson played lukewarm, but he felt wrong somehow.
