Darjeeling Limited

Okay... my better half gave it a B- but then she is my better half. She is much more polite and much more inclined to point out the good in films by directors we enjoy. Me. Not so much. The film is lite, light, and mostly pointless. The ending is satisfactory but getting there is ....is.... well, that would be the point. I know "Lets go to India and shoot a road picture". This film did nothing for anyone concerned. Nothing for the director (what direction?). Nothing for the actors (they seemed to be rehearsing before our eyes). Nothing for the audience (as the post film conversation was quick). Is it better than most things at the multiplex? Well, of course! Is it a must see? Not even close. I give it a C (with an inclination to a C-). I am disappointed as the film does not even fail in an interesting way. WAIT..... I do, however, still want to go to India. What time does the Bengal Lancer pull away from the station?
