Acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Darjeeling Limited) scored with critics and audiences with his comedy movie Moonrise Kingdom.
Set in the 1960s, the film about first love tells the story of 12-year-olds Sam and Suzy (newcomers Jared Gilmna and Kara Hayward) who run away together from camp on an island off the coast of New England. Various authorities search for the young lovers while a violent storm is brewing, all threatening to turn the coastal town upside down.
Moonrise Kingdom boasts a first class, including Edward Norton (Red Dragon), Bill Murray (Lost in Translation), Frances McDormand (Almost Famous), Tilda Swinton (The Man From London), Bruce Willis (Red), Harvey Keitel (Taxi Driver), Bob Balaban (Howl) and Anderson film staple Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore).
As well as directing, Anderson wrote the script with Roman Coppola, who also paired up on The Darjeeling Limited (along with Schwartzman).
The PG-13 romance movie grossed a tidy $42 million in less than 1,000 theaters, scoring high praise from both critics and moviegoers, a whopping 94% and 90%, respectively, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
