Three brothers reunite for a train journey across India to visit their mother who is living in a mission in the Himalayas. Owen Wilson plays the domineering brother who provides a minute-by-minute itinerary of their day. Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman reluctantly go along with him. They occasionally stop for visits at local temples to bond with the locals, but it is not until they try to rescue some boys from drowning that they find any kind of meaning to this trip. Another quirky Wes Anderson film, perhaps more irritating than usual with vapid characters, wasted India locations and distracting camerawork that takes the viewer right out of the story.
