Review by: Jason James Rating:

I went into this not expecting much and it ended up turning out better than I expected it to be. Before seeing this I was expecting a plotless and pointless movie. Much to my suprise this does have an underlining plot and the movie does follow a fairly logical path. Bill Murray does a good job with the main character of Steve Zissou. I found the character very interesting and a character that I was interested in. This has been listed as a great comedy but I don't know if I would say it is a great comedy. It has moments that are funny but I would not call them great. The casting is an all star cast and they all do a great job. I would give this movie a watch but I don't think I would recommend buying it.
