Primarily this movie makes me nostalgic and I miss my two younger sisters (Owen Wilson's character and I have a lot more in common that I would probably like to admit). Anderson nails the sibling dynamic so well that even if you don't necessarily have the same number of siblings or you aren't all the aren't the same gender, there is something relatable in this movie for you- brothers and sisters have seen each other at their worst and best and know exactly which buttons to push to set each other off.
In this movie these three brothers haven't seen each other in awhile because they've become adults with other commitments. They go on a trip to India where they wind up reverting back to their childhood dynamic (I would argue the typical dynamic of oldest, middle and youngest) that they had when they were children. At first they all fight it, comfortable with their new lives as an adult individual, not as one of three, and not wanting to be the child they used to be. However, as the movie goes on and the characters face various troubles we learn a lot about the way they were raised even though their parents aren't seen for most of the film (the father not at all). You can tell in the way they all do certain things simultaneously without thinking.
They end up realizing how they are able to lean on each other and get an understanding and acceptance only a sibling can provide.
Anyways. I'm sure this is a slightly bit confusing, but watch it. It's a nostalgic ridden movie that will make you think of all of these familial situations you haven't thought of in years. In a good way.
