A poignant and, as the critics would say, "real" movie about a jacques cousteau-esque character and his band of merry men as they go through the trials and tribulations of a waning career...
inject into the story a few other characters, namely zissou's son (wilson) and a slightly prego reporter (blanchett) who is along for the ride, and zissou's ex-roommate, jeff goldblum, and you have a nice mix of characters who add many dimensions to the story...
it is a quirky movie, not quite as poignant as "lost in translation" but certainly of a quirky nature many other movies are unlikely to share...
bill murray's acting chops are on full display here, generally with dead-pan delivery but also with a wide range of emotions shared...
the movie does follow a formulaic approach, but it also has a lot of "different" aspects to it.. for large parts it appears as though the movie is itself episodic, but it blends together nicely (IMO)
can't really say much about the movie w/o giving away plot intricacies
highly recommended... watch it if you can...
4/5 OSNN stars...
p.s. this movie I suppose can be classified as a comedic drama
