Description

Three friends, Anthony (Luke Wilson), Dignan (Owen C. Wilson) and Bob (Robert Musgrave) all dream of being on America's most wanted list as notorious thieves. The problem is that they're not very good. As the trio embark upon a series of hare-brained schemes to rob people and companies of their hard-earned money, they realise that they have to work together and learn the true value of friendship.

Wes Anderson first illustrated his lovingly detailed, slightly surreal cinematic vision in this witty and warm portrait of three young middle-class misfits. Fresh out of a mental hospital, gentle Anthony (Luke Wilson) finds himself once again embroiled in the machinations of his best friend, elaborate schemer Dignan (Owen Wilson). With the aid of getaway driver Bob (Robert Musgrave), they develop a needlessly complex, mildly successful plan to rob a small bookstore - then go "on the lam." Also featuring Lumi Cavazos as Inez, the South American housekeeper Anthony falls in love with, and James Caan as local thief extraordinaire Mr. Henry, Bottle Rocket is a charming, hilarious, affectionate look at the folly of dreamers. Shot against radiant southwestern backdrops, it`s the film that put Anderson and the Wilson brothers on the map.

Cool, witzig, etwas zäh, aber dennoch spassig.

solche filme auf deutsch schaut, verpasst die hälfte des filmes, weil diese der übersetzung zum opfer fällt - aber reschpekt.
gut, aber...

nicht gerade der beste anderson-streifen. zu wenig schräg, zu wenig pointiert, das ganze. die wilson-brüder überzeugen dennoch und einige witzige szenen hats auch drunter. für einen lockeren abend also durchaus geeignet.
Endlich auch auf deutsch erhaeltlich...!

Ja, langsam aber sicher lernt man auch im Rest Europas Qualitaet zu schaetzen. Die Geschichte zweier Jugendfreunde, die auf Umwegen wieder den Draht zueinander finden, bildet den Grundstein von Wes Andersons Familienzyklus, der mit den "Royal Tenenbaums" (Familienpsychologiekurs) und "The Life Aquatic" (Stichwort Ersatzfamilie) zwei gebuehrende Nachfolger erhalten hat. Koestlicher schwarzer und subtiler Humor und ausgezeichnete Portraits der amerikanischen Mittelschicht fein verpackt mit delikaten Schauspielerensembles (hier mit den Wilson-Bruedern) und einer Prise Ironie... Das, mein Freund, ist die Zukunft des amerikanischen Erzaehl-Films.
