What truly piqued my attention, and gripped me throughout the hour-and-half runtime, are the warmth of friendship between the lead duo (played by Luke and Owen Wilson) and spirit of camaraderie between the three pals that, alongside the plotline revolving around Anthony’s romance with a hotel chambermaid, give the movie a feel that's at once tender, free-wheeling and delightfully charming tending to make one think of John Hughes. Madcap and slapstick moments are present as well. And the same can be said about the hodgepodge of evocative music choices. Sure they seem half-ripe and lacking in the tantalizing aesthetic quality that define the look of Anderson's films, but they are all there and as effectively and perfectly employed as in the auteur's most acclaimed efforts. But seeing whip pans, dolly-tracking shots, overheads of perfectly placed props and profile shots among others that would later become Wes Anderson's visual trademarks is oddly satisfying and special in its own way. But seeing whip pans, dolly-tracking shots, overheads of perfectly In all honesty, the plot is awfully muddled I couldn't even figure out what it is about, and it keeps going off at a tangent frequently with all its twists and turns until it becomes almost entirely obfuscated by the end.

Another potential problem is that the characters don't necessarily undergo any explicit character development over the course of the plot, but this isn't an overly serious issue as the stance can be taken that the whole point is that they don't learn and must continue to drift on top of this, the greatest part of this otherwise average film is the fact that the characters don't actually need development, they are engaging and interesting enough to keep us hooked for a full 80 minutes with their dreams and moral callousness.As a guy who already watch some later on Wes Anderson movie, like Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and he's recent one The French Dispatch, and i personally did not see Bottle Rocket any better than those movie even though the score that i give for Bottle Rocket is the same with As a guy who already watch some later on Wes Anderson movie, like Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and he's recent one The French Dispatch, and i personally did not see Bottle Rocket any better than those movie even though the score that i give for Bottle Rocket is the same with The Grand Budapest Hotel and The French Dispatch, i did like those two better than this, Moonrise Kingdom is just on another level, still so far my favorite from Wes Anderson, Bottle Rocket started as just a decent robbery movie that later on become more than that, we have some good friendship story and element, we also have a good romance story that i like, the movie is perform pretty well by all the cast, the movie also fills with great music, the movie did not take too long, and overall i like it, it's still a good directorial debut from someone who i already watch his later movie, it's good. As a debut feature, it's pretty darn good. But this is Wes Anderson before Wes Anderson, which should be considered. The film is perhaps overly reliant on its everyday dialogue and naturalistic, if not observably detached, relationships that give the film a documentary-like tone that perhaps doesn't work as an environment for typically Anderson-esque characters to inhabit.
Ultimately, what "Bottle Rocket" is about is confusion in both path and purpose, and this is clearly reflected in the spontaneity and energy of its central characters, their actions and their interactions. The drifting, meaningless "hang-out" nature of this quirky, engaging crime/road/comedy flick is often fun and entertaining, and often far too meandering for its own good.
