Wes Anderson's feature debut, co-written with Owen Wilson, is a shaggy, deadpan crime comedy about a trio of hapless friends who fancy themselves master thieves. Owen and Luke Wilson star as the bumbling would-be criminals plotting an absurd career of heists. Overlooked on release, it introduced Anderson's droll voice and meticulous style in embryonic form. Championed by admirers like Martin Scorsese, it is now regarded as a charming, prophetic first film.
