Oh my how I was laughing so hard during this movie. It is definitely one of those movies where you are laughing without realizing exactly what you are laughing about. It's got so many random moments throughout the movie but is so well done.
It is set on a small island off the coast of New England where two young 12 year old kids fall in love with each other. It has an all-star cast which includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton , Bruce Willis, and Francis McDormand. The young couple, played by Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman, hatch a plan over a one year period to run away together. Sam (Jared Gilman) writes to Suzy (Kara Hayward) while at Camp Ivanhoe to give her the details on where and when to meetup. When the camp, along with Suzy's parents, figure out they are missing they pull together a search party to find them. The humor is the norm for Director and Writer Wes Anderson who also directed movies such as The Royal Tenenbaums, Darjeeling Limited, and Life Aquatic to name a few. If you enjoyed those movies you will definitely enjoy this one. A movie I'd definitely recommend. It's being added to my "Buy" list for sure!!
