Passable, because of the visual aspect which Wes Anderson always does so well...but i didn't find the story all that amusing. And i don't CARE if the rapid dialogue was inspired by the book. I don't want to work that hard to keep up with it.
The acting conveyed what it was supposed to and there were moments of the usual Wes Anderson cuteness...i've probably seen all of Anderson's movies and i seriously love some of them. But not all. And this one definitely falls into the latter category. Who knows? Maybe roald dahl is to blame...maybe it wasn't all that great a story to begin with... but i'm not about to rave about something that was good enough, but, overall, disappointing...
