I'm not sure how many times I've seen this movie, it really doesn't matter I guess. The only thing I know is the more I watch it the more I love it and the more I notice all the little details and quirks that make it so special and unique. It's dry humor and beautiful story telling may not be for everyone but if u don't like it I guess u just don't appreciate good film making and u suck so there! The cast is top notch, the style is artsy and ingenious but not in a way that should be intimidating or confusing to a novice film watcher and the characters are memorable and interesting. I am a big Wes Andersen fan but there is something about The Royal Tenenbaums that makes it my favorite...so far anyway. If u enjoy Wes Andersen's films but u haven't seen this one then do what ever u have to do to get yourself a copy of it and find a working DVD player or if needed a VHS player (yes it's available on VHS, I know this because I have one-lol). Get yourself in front of a TV and make it snappy and then just kick back, relax and enjoy the magic of a really finely crafted work of art. You will be greeted by the regal voice of Alec Baldwin. He'll introduce u to the Tenebaum family and tell u all u need to know about why they are the way they are and why they have strayed so far from their potential and one another. I hope u will watch the Royal Tenenbaums and I hope u will enjoy it's charm, if u don't well...I guess ur just a loser who should go watch Transformers or something with lots of explosions or shiny flickering images.
