Bottle Rocket (on video)


Rating = B

Typically, I don't include videos here, except when that's how they were released. However, having just seen the director's third movie, The Royal Tenenbaums, and still having his second movie, Rushmore, fresh in my mind, it seemed appropriate to go find his first movie.

Bottle is Rocket quite funny. The dysfunctional extended family of The Royal Tenenbaums was the director and writer's next step in the development of the sort of dysfunctional extended “family” in Bottle Rocket.
