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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Will G A great Wes Anderson film. Bill Murray is a very talented actor. It was about a family and their estate in New York. The relatives get older and one of them had kids. I look forward to seeing the new film “The Phoenician Scheme”. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Faiz D Owen Wilson & Wes Anderson Rock! The Royal Tenenbaums is a beautifully melodramatic nostalgia that delivers laughs, cries, and pure joy. A great movie, but not for everyone. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Sergio A This film is flawless in its character development, performances, and casting choices. Wes Anderson should consider returning to a more focused approach with fewer actors and real locations. While the tragicomedy is evident, it’s a pleasure to watch the characters and their stories unfold so seamlessly. Undoubtedly, Anderson’s best film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Rich S On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to give The Royal Tenenbaums an Orange. And while I really like this movie, I do have to continually question the choices in casting which leave us with just two female characters. All these other throwaway characters -- Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Luke Wilson, the two grandsons -- could have been anybody. Why did they all have to be men? And of all the characters, why is Gwyneth Paltrow's the most despised? Anjelica Huston could have had a lesbian lover, but then we would have had to replace the only man of color. Oh, the tangled webs we weave when we practice our art in man-powered Hollywood. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
