My girlfriend and I have been watching a lot of good movies lately, but they’ve all been really heavy, serious movies: Constant Gardener, The Pianist, Syriana, etc. We need something a little more light-hearted.
We’re also not in the states, so we’d like to know if there have been some funny movies lately (in the last year) that we might have missed. I mentionned the movies in the title just because I think those are some of the best movies ever made that aren’t serious at all.
Have you seen Wes Anderson’s other movies? Bottle Rocket was very good, but I think he’s improved immensely as a filmmaker since then. Rushmore is great, and The Royal Tennenbaums is my favorite film ever made. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a step down, and probably his most challanging film, but still well worth it.
