CGiii Comment
Huge names, huge budget and hugely...insulting.
And, monolithically monotonous.
Wes Anderson may inhabit an alien place in his head...that's not an excuse to commit his imagination to film - especially when it is this dreary.
A comedy?!? On what planet?!?
It is a colourful, camp, damp squib.
The question has to be asked...why, without reserve, is Jaques Cousteau the target of this relentless and vicious attack?
With a little research...you may find the answer!!!

The(ir) Blurb...
When his partner is killed by the mysterious and possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark, Steve Zissou and his Team Zissou crew set off for an expedition to hunt down the creature. Along with his estranged wife, a beautiful journalist and a co-pilot who could possibly be Zissou's son, the crew set off for one wild expedition.
