  • Starring: Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson
  • Summary: 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 (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), 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. (Fox Searchlight)… Expand

    A picture that certain Brits and connoisseurs of British colloquial English might call "a grower" … more moving and funny the more I think about it.

    Picaresque movies often feel longer than they are. For them to work, they need an interior spring with more thrust than Darjeeling's attempt at reconstituted brotherhood. The problem is in Anderson's approach, which is so supercool, it's chilly. Anderson has the attitude for comedy but not the aptitude.

    A slow train to Dullsville that makes all local stops. You know a film is in trouble if the most interesting thing in it is the luggage.

    It's nice to see these actors do such a great job in this movie. Some of the actors you would not consider them fit for the roles they play but they do a great job and the end result is a great story and a great experience portrayed masterfully by a great cast and a director that keeps on creating great films.… Expand

    This movie is about as boring as watching emotionally crippled rich NY brats go on a "spiritual" journey in a impoverished country...oh wait. Every shot is centered. Even when the movie gets serious it is cliché (the music kicks in and it goes into slow motion) and you have seen it before in other Wes Anderson movies. There are a few funny parts and at the very least the movie isn't offensive.… Expand

    If I never watched this film, I would not have missed it. The film was - just nothing! It was not unwatchable - just not relevant to anything. A late night watch when you just can not sleep - it might put you to sleep.… Expand
