I don't know a single person that has seen it and not fallen in love with the world Anderson creates.
Is it quirky just for quirkiness' sake? I dunno - maybe. Does it recycle a little too much from the rest of Anderson's filmography? I dunno - maybe. Dammit, no movie has made me feel so happy after watching in at least the last 3 or 4 years. I wanted to applaud when the credits rolled.

This is a good read and a chance to revisit that great montage early in the film.
