After seeing Wes Andersons Grand Budapest Hotel, I will say...a bit overdone. With Anderson I am use to his films being his own creative world or setting that seems fictional yet realistic and it is like this with Grand Budapest Hotel. However, it is not the art side or photography that is overdone, it is the amount of big name actors that are in it. I will admit this movie is one that I did enjoy, but at times was having trouble figuring out why tons of big name actors were rounded up. Where really the main focus was on Ralph Fiennes (as Gustave), Adrien Brody (as Dmitri), and Willem Dafoe (as Jopling). There were many other big names such as Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Jeff Goldblum, and more. All good actors but why even bother mentioning their names where they are only in the film for a brief second? Is it just because of hollywood? Or is the independent filmmaking of Wes Anderson just all about making more money? Overall, I enjoyed the film, but I think it needs some improvement. For you Wes Anderson fans out there, this one is not to be missed, but to go with an open-mind. Two and a half stars.
