It’s my all-time favorite film. I remember seeing it in theaters in 2005and not quite getting it. It’s only gotten better with age.
I don't think I've heard of it. I'll have to go see if it's on youtube or netflix or anything like that. If it's got Bill Murray, I'll probably like it.

It should be on Netflix and fair warning it's an odd little movie. It's a loving parody/homage of the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau mixed with Wes Anderson's usual quirkiness as a filmmaker. All of the animals are made up and stop-motion animated for instance. It's a weird film but it's got a lot of heart and an absolutely incredible soundtrack.

I saw it - thought it was pretty stupid with just a lot of coarse language. Must not have gotten the point. Course I was straight when I saw it.
I really disliked this movie and fail to see the appeal. I find most of Bill Murray's performances to be juvenile. I actually worked on several Cousteau documentaries including one filmed off Alcyone. I guess I have no sense of humor.
And Mike learned it from Bobby Meistrell (and probably my friend Zale Parry)

I watched years ago and it fell totally flat. I ‘ve watched a couple of Cousteau films recently on YouTube. I decided to give Life Aquatic another shot and it just blew me away. Completely different from what I watched in 05. Defoe was fantastic and only Murray could anchor this film, anyone else would have ruined it.
