Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dance scene on the beach was saved for the very end of filming, so that the two young leads would be comfortable around each other, and was done on a closed set (just the two leads, co-writer and director Wes Anderson, and the cameraman).
- GoofsThe pilot of the plane incorrectly says the word "five" as "fiver". In standard aviation phonetics--NATO alphabets--the number "nine" is pronounced "niner", to distinguish it from "five", which is pronounced as "fife".
- Crazy creditsDuring the final credits, Alexandre Desplat's music is vocally decomposed, like it was for the piece of classical music during the movie.

Featured review
A ridiculous 'love story' involving 12 year olds - but it works!
The story of an unliked 12 year old Khaki scout and the unwanted 12 year old daughter of a pair of disfunctional lawyer parents, all set in 1965 - then the pair of 'lovers' decide to run away together on a fairly small island. The whole concept is ridiculous, but the absolutely stellar cast pull it off. The use of music by Benjamin Britten and other C20th composers works very well. I give it at least 8/10 (possibly 9/10 - it is very good).
