Bottle Rocket | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Owen Wilson, with his buzz-blond do, smiling mug, and self-realizing spiel, is truly one of a kind.

Though 1996's Bottle Rocket was a commercial flop, it was a remarkably special feature-length debut that introduced the world to the writer-director's idiosyncratic style.

The performers look like they're having a lot of fun, but there is a great deal of skill on display.

It's only in the finale of Bottle Rocket, brimming over with poignant male self-delusion, that the flair and sizzle of Anderson's future promise returns.

A confident, eccentric debut about a trio of shambling and guileless friends who become the Candides of crime, Rocket feels particularly refreshing because it never compromises on its delicate deadpan sensibility.
