I don't think I had seen a Wes Anderson movie until about 3 years ago when I watched one with friends.

It was 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou', and my reaction to it prompted a friend of a friend to suggest that maybe I should watch more of his movies.

Now, I am no fan of certain directors or produces and know/recognise their work. I just like a movie because I like the movie.

So I cannot say if this is a good one to start off with or how good it is compared to other works of his.

Edit:

Wait, I lie.

I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel a few years before The Life Aquatic and I enjoyed that one as well.

I didn't realise that was one of his as well, but I had a hunch and looked it up.
