Looking forward to seeing this movie as a Wes Anderson fan and based on this review!

We saw this movie this weekend. And at first were cautious of the fact that an all-star cast was involved: that often jinxes a film, as it relies too heavily on the cast, rather than the script.
Joyfully, this was not the case here. The script was light and fun, the actors were marvelous and obviously enjoyed being in this film, no matter how small the role, and the plot was well handled in an offbeat but hugely entertaining way.
I may go see it again to catch my subtleties I may have missed.

I saw the trailer at the theater and was not impressed. Seemed to be breakneck pace of crass overacting. No finesse.

It is a farce, for heaven's sake! Not everyone likes a farce, just as not everyone likes an action flick.
But if you do like farcical comedies, you will enjoy this one immensely,
