Wes Anderson does have a knack for writing milquetoast men. And his female leads are the stronger of the species. But for me, the frailty is reassuring. As if it reduces the characters to pure childlike emotion. I watch all different types film for all different types of reasons and it's at least comforting to know what you're getting into with his work. Above all this though is that they're basically just fun. I like the portrait-like camera stills and the dialogue is funny - "Don't listen to me. I'm on mescaline. "I'm sorry, did you say you were on mescaline?" I did indeed!"
