Our suggestions
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.
"This is one of Wes Anderson's most renowned films, with an all-star cast: Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Gwyneth Paltrow, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, and Luke Wilson. The Royal Tenenbaums, with another script by Anderson and Luke Wilson, is a great adult comedy that relies on humor to tackle such dark topics as heartbreak, frustration, and resentment."
