The Darjeeling Limited - Hated It

I'm guessing when this was pitched to studio heads, it sounded like a heart-warming comedy. Three American brothers embark on a journey of discovery in a far land after the death of their Father. They hope to meet up with their estranged Mother as well who now lives in that same land.

What fun this could have been. Language differences. Strange customs. Foreign foods. Ugly Americans trying to make their way in India. It could have been very very funny. But it was not.

Instead, we have an overly long, deadly slow (pun intended), story of three creepy, self-absorbed Americans who are easily manipulated by anyone.

The only interesting part was when they finally meet up with Mom, played by Angelica Houston. If I had been her character, I would have tried to get as far from her loser sons as possible too.

My recommendation is to NOT watch this with anyone you care about.
