Moonrise Kingdom

The elopement of two troubled preteen youths triggers an island-wide search in this dead pan comedy. Director Wes Anderson provides a unique perspective in this funny but quirky film capturing childhood innocence and the spirit of summer during the 60's. The kids are terrific little actors as well as the all star cast (Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murry, and Frances McDormand). This sweet and charming film has a dry sense of humor and some great visual images.
