The film is shot and composed to evoke the early '60s and does so in an almost mystical way. Well written and acted, every character maintains deadpan throughout. Adults are kind, if flawed, and the children have not become cynical or jaded. it's more like 1962 than 1965 to be picky.
As an eccentric kid who grew up in this period wearing a coonskin cap to school everyday, surrounded by offbeat friends and uncles and aunts like Walt and Laura and sharing secrets with my own "Suzy Bishop", Wes Anderson took me to a place I haven't been for fifty years and had forgotten. That is magic.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, suberb direction, excelent cinemtography
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The filmn satirizes political corruption and corporate influence of the type employed by the Koch bros. It is lacking in subtlety and stereotypes southerners as morons.
However, it is the best comedic performance by Ferrell in a long time. Galifianakis is odd and good as usual. Above average in the crude humor genre. Worth watching for the matinee rates or when it comes to cable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
