The Darjeeling Limited

In director Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited, three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course, and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins. Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman star in this film about their adventure and their friendship.

I used to love Wes Anderson. Bottle Rocket and Rushmore were awesome! However, since then his movies get weirder and weirder. Royal Tennebaums was still pretty good. The Life Aquatic was just totally weird and The Darjeeling Limited is along the same lines of The Life Aquatic. I know that there are people who love this kind of straight faced, catching people in awkward true to life moments and if you are one of them - you will probably love this movie. It was a little bit past the weird line for me and I found myself not really attached to watching the movie even though I like all three of the main actors.

I would only recommend this movie to anyone who really enjoyed The Royal Tennenbaums and especially The Life Aquatic. Outside of that - I would suggest that people stay far, far away from this movie.
