MOONRISE KINGDOM

Another contribution to the film world by the incomparable, Wes Anderson.  Typical for Wes, this features lighthearted moments with extremely quirky characters.  It is a story about two young lovers who flee their New England town and cause a search party to find them.  If you don't appreciate Wes' films (Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore and the Fantastic Mr Fox among others), don't even bother with this one.  If however, you appreciate the appearance of aforementioned quirky characters, wonderful writing and pure enjoyment of being enveloped into a fictional world, by all means enjoy yourself.

Between Edward Norton, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton, I'm not sure who was funnier.  Bruce Willis and Bill Murray were OK too.  Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as Sam and Suzy, the young lovers were good but overshadowed by their adult counterparts.

I enjoyed myself but am unsure that I would want to watch it over and over so I give this a one thumb pointing to the moon which guides us every night.
