The Grand Budapest Hotel, 2 Stars


This is a quirky movie. Reminds me vaguely of The Royal Tanenbaums and maybe Barney's Version - I think you have to like a certain type and style of film. A friend described it as "Noel Coward meets Agatha Christie". Weird might be too strong, but you get the drift.

A strong performance by Ralph Fiennes (HP series). Lots of cameos / short appearances by a variety of actors including: Tom Wilkinson (The Patriot), Jude Law (The Holiday), Bill Murray (Groundhog Day), and Jeff Goldblum (The Big Chill).

While the film moves well, I have no desire to see it again.
