Greetings again from the darkness. You have to hand it to Wes Anderson ("The Royal Tenenbaums"). He certainly explores facets of personalities that most never really give much consideration. Watching these three dysfunctional brothers on their journey to no particular salvation is an absolute marvel.
The parallels to real life notwithstanding, Owen Wilson gives one of his best performances and reminds us that there is more to his talent than the mindless muck he so often associates with. Adrien Brody is the brother who just can't let go of their deceased father, and co-writer Jason Schwartzman is just perfect in his role. Certainly, I would encourage you to see the film prior to anyone spoiling the details for you, because as with life ... the joy is in the journey! Also, special thanks to Wes for including the under-appreciated Stones' song "Play with Fire".
