Moonrise Kingdom

During the summer of '65, two twelve year old children fall in love and run away together to an island off the coast of New England.  A search party consisting of local police, social services, and a scout troop set out to find them and bring them in.

This was very reminiscent of The Royal Tenenbaums, not quite as good, but very entertaining, especially, if you like the dry humor of Wes Anderson.

Extremely quirky with bizarre characters, absurd sets and very interesting music. The story is sweet and surprisingly engaging. As with all of Wes Anderson's stuff this is a tad slow and takes a bit for the story to get going, but there are enough oddities to keep the audience amused along the way.

*** Must See
