Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dance scene on the beach was saved for the very end of filming, so that the two young leads would be comfortable around each other, and was done on a closed set (just the two leads, co-writer and director Wes Anderson, and the cameraman).
- GoofsThe pilot of the plane incorrectly says the word "five" as "fiver". In standard aviation phonetics--NATO alphabets--the number "nine" is pronounced "niner", to distinguish it from "five", which is pronounced as "fife".
- Crazy creditsDuring the final credits, Alexandre Desplat's music is vocally decomposed, like it was for the piece of classical music during the movie.

Featured review
Like watching Lord of the Flies while on acid...
and I absolutely loved every minute. There's nothing better than when you see actors commit fully to absurdity, and there wasn't a misstep in the entire film, stellar cast and a great movie watching experience. My favorite, of Wes Anderson's films, and what a move picking the two lead child actors - their performances were brave and spot-on. I want to find this island, I want to liquidate everything I own and move there, I just wonder if a place like this still exists in the World? I bet it does. Quirky and humorous, this film doesn't disappoint (or at least I've only heard of 1 person so far not giving it a thumbs up), anyone who doesn't get this film I suspect had a very regimented childhood and didn't take any risks. Great soundtrack, two people near me in the theatre jumped up into the aisle to start dancing (I suspect they may have been there for a second viewing!), the entire audience enjoyed it. Really, Anderson's best film yet in my book, highly recommended.
