Title: Fantastic Mr. Fox
Director: Wes Anderson
Writer: Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson
Cast: George Clooney, Merryl Streep, Owen Wilson and Bill Murray
Wes Anderson doesn’t do children, okay he does but the type of kids he does are the type who usually get done by the alcoholic uncle or the super-touchy auntie, So I was skeptical at first, Anderson does light-hearted comedies with deeper meanings brought forth with dry wit, not animated foxes and Roald Dahl But your boy doesn’t disappoint, and the fans after this should still be fans, Anderson brings his idiosyncratic clubs to the course in the form of his trademark humour, distinct style and gang of usual misfits of regulars Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson, and goes to town on this flick.
Parents, however, might not be too thrilled at Anderson’s interpretation of the beloved Roald Dahl book, but they can sit on it and rotate, if they can let their kids grow affectionate towards a camp purple naked dinosaur, then what’s wrong with a Fox which says “Fuck” and wears Marc Jacobs?
George Clooney and Meryl Streep take the reins and allow the usual suspects of Murray and co. to form the filing to this fantastic flick and combine to form an extremely entertaining cast who excellently deliver Anderson’s dry humour. Its witty, charming and touching and I came away wanting to turn around and see it again immediately after I left the cinema.
If you’re looking for something not too serious, but not frivolous either, then go see The Fantastic Mr Fox. It’s good night out that genuinely everyone in the family can enjoy, or even just you by yourself!
7 Hoers!
