you have benicio del toro as the star of a wes anderson movie, and this is all you get? that's what i kept thinking. its still great. good job wes. but not great job wes. great job wes = life aquatic, rushmore, etc. this was like, wes just having fun. well keep having fun out there wes and i'll keep buying your fucking movies you son of a bitch!!! his recent shorts were substantially better overall, but this movie's heights make it great. a slightly limp 4 stars from this reviewer and big time wes andersonian. salute
