2/10Didn't get this film at a fundamental level, the humor felt kind of ham-fisted. Wasn't able to finish it.

The Royal Tenenbaums Synopsis
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) is a comedy and drama film directed by Wes Anderson, released on October 5, 2001 with a runtime of 1h 50m. It stars Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow. Viewers rate it 7.5 out of 10 across 5,181 ratings.
