This movie grabbed my attention the first time I rented it at my local videostore for it's low key atmosphere and entertaining storyline.  The highly persistent (if not entirely insane) Dignan, played by Owen Wilson  has got to be one of the most memorable character portrayals in any movie  I've ever seen.  The slow pace of the movie makes everything just right  (you won't be blown away by special effects, unless you consider an  altogether cerebral script pyrotechnic) but you will come away from this  movie with a sense of adventure and a deep desire for one yourself.  The  fact that this movie is practically a remake of an earlier project adds  even more to its appeal.  The caper scenes are hilarious, the dialogue will  make you think as well as laugh, and you will come away from this movie  with a new appreciation for film making in general.  It's not all about  explosions after all.  And you will find yourself scaring the hell out of  your friends when for no reason at all you start screaming "Ka-Caw,  Ka-Caw!".  If you like this movie check out Rushmore, also directed by  Wes Anderson.
