Grand Budapest

I stumbled across The Grand Budapest Hotel as an inflight movie option on my way back from Italy this past July. I would hope that the passengers sitting around me were amused by the copious amount of laughter coming from my seat. I couldn't help myself. A month or so ago I asked my husband to watch the movie on Netflix and he was asleep within the first thirty minutes. I suppose Wes Anderson's humor isn't for everyone but he is one of my absolute favorite directors. More on a book about The Grand Budapest Hotel written by film critic Matt Zoller Seitz can be found here from the New York Times. Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic should also be at the top of your "to watch" list (if you've been living under a rock).
