Bottle Rocket

Released 1996
Stars Luke Wilson, Owen C. Wilson, Robert Musgrave, Lumi Cavazos, James Caan
Directed by Wes Anderson

Original, low-key comedy about two young friends--and chronic screw-ups--who attempt to embark on a life of crime. Engaging performances by Owen C. Wilson (who cowrote the film), as Dignan, and his real-life brother Luke, as Anthony, stand out. (A third brother, Andrew, plays their friend's bullying older sibling.) Expanded from a 13m. short subject.
