Movie Review by B Movie Ben
October 18th, 2007

What's the secret, Max?

Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams): Do you think we're going to have sex? Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman): That's a kinda cheap way to put it. Rosemary Cross: Not if you've ever f*cked before, it isn't.

Did she finally put him in his place? This was the turning part of the movie, in my opinion, where he went from being an obnoxious twerp, to someone who could consider others. Up until that point, I wanted to strangle him.

I really don't know why some think that this is a comedy. It really isn't that funny. It's about class and about dysfunctional families. Even the rich have seriously dysfunctional families. Max just couldn't accept what he was and created this persona that was, well, obnoxious.

The direction was great, and I really like the way Anderson uses color. It was enjoyable in that respect. The music really set the mood.

Bill Murray was outstanding. His quirky humor really fit in well in this film. I think Williams deserved more credit than she was given as she really contributed to this film.

I was really entertained, but. no. I didn't laugh once. But what do I know. I did't think Napoleon Dynamite was funny either.
