Bottle Rocket is a 1996 Wes Anderson-directed film -his debut- starring Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, and James Caan. I have the DVD, but it's also available on HBO Max. It has a scene in it that takes place during the Christmas holidays.
trailer:
Criterion calls it "charming, hilarious, affectionate". The Hollywood Reporter has a positive review. Empire calls it "smart". Roger Ebert says it's ideal for "An audience that knows about the realities of low-budget independent filmmaking". Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 85%.

ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how many non-Christmas movies have a scene that takes place during the season.
DeleteI love Wes Anderson -- I don't know how I missed this!
ReplyDeleteIt was early, and I don't see it mentioned much.
DeleteI love Wes Anderson and I have no idea how I missed this one. A great cast!
ReplyDeleteHe's brilliant in his casting.
DeleteThis sounds HILARIOUS. I laughed at James Caan's shoes and socks in his first scene. And I'm not normally a fan of comedy.
ReplyDeleteComedy's never my first pick, either, but Wes Anderson has a way with it.
