"Bottle Rocket" is the first film written by Luke Wilson and directed by Wes Anderson, the duo that would later go on to create both "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums".  Despite the fact that this is the first film that these two worked on together, "Bottle Rocket" is every bit as good as the more recognized and well known follow-ups.  This film marks the introduction of a very unique and original brand of humor, a type of humor that can possibly be mistaken for drama if the viewer isn't paying close enough attention.  This is not in your face comedy, but rather a subtle, quirky sense of humor delivered in a deadpan style that in its own way is extremely rewarding and enjoyable.
