  I thought an excellent film, all round. Quaint, whimsical, deft and stylish. An ode to a past which, if you've spent any time in Central Europe, you will recognise and love instantly.

• Not a fan of Wes Anderson...his gimmicks are so cheesy - Jazz Inmate 09:22:38 08/25/14 (1)

  See-link, I like this SNL spoof trailer. It perfectly shows what a hack Wes Anderson is. "You had me at 'Wes Anderson.' -New York Times"
  
  I'll admit to laughing a couple times when I saw GBH, but the gimmicks get so tedious and painfully understated/telegraphed that it becomes a chore to watch and makes me stop caring about the story and characters.

  ...not as sweet and funny as Anderson's best, Moonrise Kingdom, but great set design, color and interesting characters with lots of cameos.
  
  Unfortunately it carries of note of sadness throughout.
  
  Some of his films are better than others but they're always interesting.

      stilted, uncomfortable, pretty darn dull.
      
      Of course I've had enough of Owen Wilson doing Owen Wilson (who can't even stop doing Owen Wilson
      long enough to do Woody Allen as well as many female actors have) to last the rest of my days.

        Take a second look at it. A film who do need time to work on you. The first time I was not so sure, but..
        
        Wilson, try to get rid of allergies...I know when it come to actors it is hard...to come by..
