Owen C. Wilson is the type of actor who can either make a movie or make an audience want to toss things at the screen so he will shut his surfer-dude trap already. The Darjeeling Limited may have offered him the role of his life; I found him down-right endearing. The film is tender and sweet, and, with just a sprinkle of humor, inspires one to wonder if Wes Anderson had a real-life spiritual experience in India while writing this script.
The only negative: Adrien Brody's somber yet cartoonish face did not, for me, suffice to replace a larger role by Bill Murray, who is the master of quiet characters and the seeming embodiment of Anderson's outlook on the world. In my opinion, Brody has a lot of acting classes to attend before he will merge well with the Wilson-Schwartzman machine. Though what a pair of legs. His lankiness goes unrivaled.
