Delivered flat, aimed sideways.
Steve Martin's arrival, and a quotation source ever since
Burton's debut, entirely its own thing
the Coens at their fastest
sweeter and smarter than it looks
the best film ever made from a sketch
Wes Anderson's debut, a total flop
shrugged at on release, now permanent
a flop that became a language
the comedy that defined a house style
the least explicable hit of the decade
panned then, quietly Anderson's saddest
a flop that has been quietly reappraised as one of the great sketch films
McKay's funniest
the weirdest animated studio film in years
Anderson's most complete
a nearly three-hour comedy that earns it
the best-directed studio comedy in years
