Editorial Review: Product Description: Three best friends who attempt to escape their surburan boredom through a life of crime. But these bickering bumbling thieves are no match for the local godfather who leads them into the biggest heist of thier careers. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 01/24/2006 Starring: Owen Wilson Bob Musgrave Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: This quietly daffy comedy should have been an indie hit, but ended up ignored by audiences. Too bad; it's a wonderfully sustained caper movie about friends whose career choice is all wrong. Low-key Anthony (Luke Wilson) and high-strung Dignan (Owen C. Wilson--the two actors are brothers) are brought into a life of crime by Dignan's ambition to be a small-time thief. After a few amusingly laid-back trial burglaries, they (and a third buddy) find themselves over their heads when they hook up with an experienced crime boss (James Caan). Because this movie is so relentlessly deadpan, you really have to be dialed in to its brand of humor--but once there, Bottle Rocket shoots off plenty of sparks. Above all, Owen Wilson's portrayal of Dignan is a terrifically original comic creation; Dignan is so sincerely focused on his goals that he can't see how completely absurd his ideas are. Owen Wilson, who went on to supply similarly knuckle-headed performances in Armageddon and Permanent Midnight, wrote the screenplay with director Wes Anderson. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DefectiveThe DVD we received was defective. The color was off and the image kept going black. We couldn't watch it. Rating:  - Why They Should Take Wes Anderson's Money Away"Rushmore" was my first Wes Anderson film. I fell in love with that movie (I remember noticing about halfway through it that I literally couldn't get the smile off of my face), and I tracked this film down as a result. When I first watched "Bottle Rocket", I thought it was an excellent (hilarious, surprising, brilliant, inspired) film, but one that obviously lacked the polish needed to propel it to "Rushmore" status. I hate to admit it, because it's so superficial and pedestrian, but ...

I recommend it for any fans... Rating: - My Favorite Film"Why is that tape on your nose?" "Exactly!" Bottle Rocket seems to be a love it or hate it flick based on all the folks I've discussed the film with. This is a simple movie and a very funny one as long as you can appreciate humor delivered in the dialouge. To summarize it in one word, I go with "refreshing". I love this movie so much that I actually use it as an experiment with new acquaintances. I'll let them borrow it and await their feedback. If they love it, I know there's a mutual ... Read More Rating:  - Why did the movie makers underplay the comedy theme in this movie ? It could have been so much better.It's a movie about 3 loonies (people who have had mental problems and have been in and out of asylums) trying to be super thieves. They hatch out a plan to rob a store, end up stealing some petty cash and a bunch of books. They behave like they are big criminals and think its best for them to be on the run as they must be wanted by the police when the truth is no one cares about them. So the fun and joke is in that. Its kind of a situational comedy but it could have been a such a blast out comedy if ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
