THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL

The Grand Budapest Hotel
Wes Anderson’s quirky romp, The Grand Budapest Hotel, has more cameos than March Madness has upsets. The main storyline features Ralph Fiennes as an amorous concierge of the Grand Budapest Hotel. One of the wealthy guests of the hotel dies and leaves the concierge a valuable painting. But the greedy son and daughters frame the concierge and send him to prison. The concierge has an ally in a Lobby Boy named Zero (played wonderfully by Tony Revolori) who assists in some wacky shenanigans. The concierge manages to escape from prison, but he’s hunted by an assassin played by William Dafoe. If you’re in the mood for an unusual movie with plenty of surprises, you might give The Grand Budapest Hotel a try. GRADE: B+
