K Dogg’s Quick Movie Review

Here’s a short review of a recent movie I’ve seen.

Movie: The Royal Tenenbaums

Starring: Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Angelica Huston, Luke Wilson

Co-starring: Owen Wilson, Danny Glover, Bill Murray

Rated R

Time: approx. 110 min.

Gene Hackman plays Royal Tenenbaum who is a rich lawyer who has a family that he hasn't been a very good father to through the years. His three children (played by Stiller, Paltrow, and Luke Wilson) are all very successful in their adventures as well. Royal tries to reunite with his family. His son (Ben Stiller) wants nothing to do with him, his daughter (Gyneth Paltrow) is pretty indifferent, and his other son (Luke Wilson) wants him back in the life. This is kind of a weird comedy. It really is ha-ha funny, but like I said, weird. I did think it was pretty funny. I thought Hackman, Stiller and Luke Wilson were all pretty funny. Worth watching.
