(1 - 44) of 44 OFCS Rating: 77% Fresh Page   1   6/10 "Una cinta bastante regular y que en su pretensión aspira a ser más de lo que es, sin lograrlo del todo."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "A ROYAL pain. It made me squirm instead of laugh."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker "The intricacy and precision of the educational process in The Royal Tenenbaums (for characters and viewers) are surely admirable, but they leave little room for surprises or upsets."   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "Wes Anderson's and Owen Wilson's wild, wooly, and wonderful follow-up to their surprise 1998 hit Rushmore."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth C+ "... somehow can't get its feet on the ground to tell its story without hitting you over the head with its adolescent charm."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1.5/4 "The comedy is threadbare, the drama plays like an afterthought, and there are too many characters to thoroughly develop any one of them."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 4/4 "Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums unfolds like a regal fairy tale."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A+ "A film you do not want to miss"   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens A "It soars to great comedic heights, but without even breaking a sweat."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "The Royal Tenenbaums is pathetically lazy filmmaking disguised as hip and clever, a boring and indifferent comedy that tries to pull the suddenly popular scam of trying to be emotional in its emotionlessness."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 4/4 "In writer-director Wes Anderson's brilliantly dysfunctional family comedy The Royal Tenenbaums, he delightfully skewers the indelible psychology of an overachieving bunch...engagingly irreverent and deliriously slick"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B+ "You have to admire its cleverness and eccentric charm."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Takes family drama into fresh and hilarious new territory with these wacky characters and their bumbling attempts to come to terms with love, forgiveness, and respect."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Rarely (if ever) side-splittingly funny, but there are so many clever moments that nasty chuckles and devilish smiles come at frequent intervals."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "the film's most incredible achievement is that it leaves you not only smiling, but with a sense of hope for this screwed-up clan"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Wes Anderson's fairy tale of New York has martini-dry comedy and a superb ensemble cast that can't overcome the failings of the quirky, convoluted script."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "This is quirky theater infused with comic highlights, and an unfortunate number of lowlights."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 9/10 "Wilson and Anderson have served up a plate of hilariously imperfect characters to populate the world of the Tenenbaum family."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen A- "Given such rich material, the cast unsurprisingly flourishes and excels."   Matinee Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 3/4 "The characters are wonderful and Anderson obviously loves them."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "Entertaining to watch simply because it's so different from most of what Hollywood routinely offers."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "There's only one word which accurately describes this movie to a tee and that word is "quirky"."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wilson are gifted artists, and I look forward to seeing them produce something that strives for more than just sustaining their own hype."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 2.5 "Don't be prodded into thinking the movie must be brilliant just because the characters within are allegedly smarter than you are."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 4.5 "The Royal Tenenbaums shares much with its predecessor Rushmore in terms of tone, presentation,& glorification of the hubris of genius."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Anderson remains one of the truly original voices in contemporary American filmmaking, and I'm sure he has his best movies still ahead of him."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "the sweetest eccentricity"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "How charmed you are by the quirky Tenenbaums will determine how much you enjoy their tortured efforts to work things out."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "If the dysfunctional family is a distinctly American pop-culture cornerstone, Anderson has created a small opus of the American family."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 3/4 "Wes Anderson tries a little too hard to be offbeat"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Like a New Yorker cartoon come to life, droll and sad and knowing at the same time, The Royal Tenenbaums is sublime."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "There's no mistaking The Royal Tenenbaums for being anything other than a Wes Anderson film, and that is most certainly a compliment."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4.5/5 "It's not that often that a movie comes along that satisfies on so many levels."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/5 "Combines elements of satire, fantasy, comedy, tragedy, farce, and drama, which will make some audiences uncomfortable but seem just right to others."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 4/5 "Em alguns momentos, não sabemos direito se devemos rir ou chorar depois de ouvirmos certos diálogos, mas esse é o charme do filme."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/5 "Unforgettably good stuff."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2.5/4 "The leisurely, indifferent pace of the film is probably why it is rated so poorly among young viewers ... It does have its rewards."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "Gene Hackman...does give a solid, funny perf as the fallen-from-grace Royal."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 10/10 "The Royal Tenenbaums is equal parts smart, silly, sardonic and sweet. It’s a scathing dark comedy, a twisted sitcom, an arcane farce and even a touching romance."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "In their quest to make this film different, however, I just feel Anderson and Wilson forgot to make it interesting."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 4/10 "To call it merely peculiar is a gross understatement."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 4/10 "Whatever hostile, deadpan humor exists is so insular, so inaccessible as to be unfathomable."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 4/4 "A mellifluous, labyrinthine thing, indescribably delicious and ambitiously literate."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 44) of 44 OFCS Rating: 77% Fresh Page   1
