i have enjoy anderson earlier effort . bottle rocket ( very funny ) and rushmore ( a sheer delight ) and royal tenembaums ( not bad ) and life aquatic ( good fun ) . however and i find this to be largely crass and pointless and amazingly obvious . this be the kind of film that annoy young whipper snapper who wear skinny jean and brandish ipod and have free access to their parent bank account and who happen to feel the need to go to thailand or india in order to discover themselves in the most clichéd possible way and will enjoy . i find it hard to empathise with any of the character they be merely a series of quirky quirk who live through moment and admittedly play well by wilson and schwartzman and brody and but even good performance can not save this dross . india itself be only use a a colourful backdrop and there be only so many slow mo soundtrack scenes one person can bear . the film be a mish mash of some of the bad metaphor that i have see in any film and ever . when the three brother finally discover themselves and they literally throw their baggage away a they run for the leave train ( in slow mo whilst some music be play and i might add and aarrrrgh . ) . i can not remember the last time i have see something as labour a this try to pass itself of a something interesting and multi layer . if i have a de lorean and i would hit 88mph and go back to the point when i first decide that i want to watch this atrocity and say to myself do not do it and trust me and i be you from the future and i have see it . a complete waste of time . you have be warn .
