Weird is the word
As you might expect from Wes Anderson, this film is a weird, whimsical offering which doesn't fit into any categories. It veers between farce, tragedy and satire on reality TV.
One of the oddest things is the musical soundtrack, featuring folk-style versions of David Bowie songs translated into Portuguese.
Bill Murray plays another man in a mid-life crisis - the captain of a rusting submarine. Zissou is a washed-up film-maker who has devoted his life to studying marine life, but now wants to destroy a piece of it - by killing the mysterious jaguar shark which killed his friend.
Owen Wilson plays Steve's long-lost son, Ned, with Cate Blanchett as a haughty journalist boasting an impossibly posh accent.
The whole movie is visually stunning and unlike anything else you've ever seen - I enjoyed it, but can see it's a film which won't be to everyone's taste. -

Notice The Cute Guy With The Curls!!!
I expected strange, and got strange! Laughed alot, hopefully in the right places, and thoroughly enjoyed this film.
The score is wonderful - move over David Bowie!!
But most of all, I loved the cute guy with curls (Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds)
I would recommend this film - go on - rent it! -
