The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

Director: Wes Anderson

Rated: R

Length: 91 min.

This star studded cast consisting of Owen Wilson (Francis), Jason Swartzman (Jack), and the incredibly talented Adrien Brody (Peter); come together in this highly entertaining oddball comedic adventure, that is...The Darjeeling Limited. The plot is based upon the hysterics that ensue on the journey of three brothers trying to find themselves in the holiest place on earth: India. The three leads play off each other extremely well, and make for a highly amusing dialogue to follow throughout the film. All three brothers play uniquely different roles in the picture. Wilson, being the eldest of the three, feels the false necessity to act as the father figure of group (which his brothers resent), seeing as their father has recently passed. Swartzman plays that of the lost lover who can't seem to let go of his ex. Brody is the most worrisome case of the three, for he is constantly taking things that aren't his because of his issues coping with the death of their father, along with his uncertainty in the upcoming birth of his child. In the end, the three brothers find that brotherhood is the most important thing in life, and their companionship is all they need to get by. If you want to take a ride on the peculiar side while having a laugh or two, this is the film for you.
