This is the first film in a long time that I've turned off before the credits. I was bored, and almost frustrated at how self-satisfied and "whimsical" it all wanted to be. The forcibly dulled-out dialogue resulted in a love story that felt far less than genuine, the comedy was flat (aside from the tree house gag at the start), and the characters were boring. The cinematography and such is an absolute peach, but the story and characters that carry it just had absolutely no resonance with me. Don't get me wrong, I love Anderson, I love weird films, but I absolutely did not get this one.
