An eccentric period comedy drama set in
the summer of 1965. Walt and Laura
live on New Penzance, an island off the coast of New England. They have three young sons and a
daughter 12 years old. Suzy has a
lot of problems; she’s prone to fits of aggression, very secretive and cannot
be without her binoculars. Troop
55 of the Khaki Scouts are spending their summer at Camp Ivanhoe, the most
disliked scout is Sam. He runs
away from camp and is instantly smitten when he sees Suzy; she has the same
reaction when their eyes meet. They head for the hills and throw their small town upside down
searching for them.
This film reminds me of the Royal Tenenbaums,
also by Wes Anderson from 2001.
Incomprehensibly, it also has aspects from Zulu of 1964. This is very funny, it seems as if the
aim of the movie is to make all the adults look and behave as old and
ridiculous as possible. It makes
me laugh just to write about it, it’s a big change from all the so-called
comedies I’ve seen that are not funny!!
