This movie has the pacing and feel of a foreign film. As I happen to love foreign films, I liked "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". It's kind of a take-off of Jacque Cousteau and his crew. If you remember the whole Jacque Cousteau image with the little Speedo briefs and head beanies that they wore, you'll find this movie right on the mark. This is a trippy film and I enjoyed it.
