Movie Review by B Movie Ben
April 17th, 2007

A quirky comedy/drama

Oh, Tannenbaum, Oh, Tannenbaum - oops, this isn't a Christmas movie. It's Tenenbaum. It's a quirky film about a weird family of burnt-out neurotics. Let's just say it is not set on Walton Mountain. But, at least it's not Zoolander, either. I always have that fear when I see Ben Stiller.

Of course, Gene Hackman gets all the accolades, but Gweneth Paltrow gave the better performance.

It's not gut-busting funny, but you will smile at it's sly and dry humor. At least there are no fart jokes.

Loss of one star for having Owen Wilson in the film and for killing the dog.

I found this film to be quite tedious.

I think it is one of those love it or hate it films. But, you can look forward to a great film this October that I heard about yesterday - Werewolf in a Women's Prison.

I was the only person I know that thought this movie was awful.........Maybe I need to watch it again.....but I remember thinking it was just boring.
