The only cool part of the movie was the fake-out at the beginning with Bill Murray riding in the taxi to catch the train, which ended up being completely unrelated to the plot of the movie. That was a well-shot scene.
That was in no way a fake out, in fact it was really the whole point of the movie. But one would have to be a Wes Anderson super fan to understand.
"White people love Wes Anderson movies more than they love their kids. If a white guy takes a white girl to a Wes Anderson movie on their first date, and neither of them have seen it, they will immediately commence a relationship that is reflected in songs by Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.
Wes Anderson movies have this way of being sort of funny and a little clever, so white people in the audience will laugh like crazy. Also, if they don’t get the joke and other white people start laughing, they’ll all join in. It’s pretty much the case that if one dude with glasses laughs, the entire theater will be in stitches within 15 seconds."
