Moonrise Kingdom

Moonrise Kingdom is a lovely heart-warming movie about (an almost) teen-romance set in a picturesque island with a small community. In typical Wes Anderson (director) fashion, the characters are all a li'l whacky or idiosyncratic. The story and plot is good. The cast is great and the acting is mostly above par. The screenplay and direction, however, does not flow in some places giving things a strained feel. I also had to sit through a very Hollywood-sy ending. That said, the film made for enjoyable viewing. It's a recommended watch.
