Vixo S A family comedy with hidden emotions. The Royal Tenenbaums is an iconic film that hides powerful emotions beneath the surface of what initially feels like a quirky family comedy. Each character is dealing with deep personal struggles, and it is truly admirable how Wes Anderson manages to develop all of them without losing the balance of the story. The director’s unique aesthetic and visual style make the film instantly recognizable, but what truly makes it special is its ability to make you laugh while still feeling the weight of the characters’ emotions. It’s a wonderful film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, perfectly blending humor and heartfelt drama in a way only Anderson could achieve. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Corey J I didn't like Asteroid City but I wanted to give this Wes Anderson classic a shot because so many people told me it was great. However, as it turns out, Wes has a particular style that isn't for everybody and it just isn't for me. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Olivia D This movie has it all, everything a person could need in a film was hilariously thrown in. I will forever think about this and all the odd characters. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Thom N I would love to go into histrionics and calisthenics about this film, but those who care already know and those who know don't need my input. I saw this at a VHS rental store my mom worked at 20 years ago, and liked it as a kid, but much more as an adult. Despite the presence of alleged abuser and creep Bill Murray and scam artist Gwen Paltrow, this manages to be one of the most quintessential American films of all time. The charismatic lying father reminded me a lot of my own hardships, and I love this movie more with each viewing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Jen K. Impressive cast, wild storyline, dark and dry humor while lightly tugging on some heart strings Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Ken M I like most of Wes Anderson’s film, but I don’t think this is his best in retrospect. I tried watching the film again recently after seeing the original in the theater when it came out and it just bored and annoyed me seeing it again. The characters just seemed contrived and unrealistic, except for Hackman who gave it his all. I would have liked more of a backstory on his character. The script just seemed to be influenced too much by New Yorker magazine short stories and JD Salinger’s work to be original. I didn’t believe for a moment that the family were related to each other in any way. I was amused by Paltrow’s performance as the dour adopted daughter; along with Hackman she’s the best standout performances.
