Quirky director Wes Anderson goes scouting for boys and girls

A young boy and girl run off together sparking a desperate search by local police, parents and scouts in this latest piece of over-stylised whimsy from director Wes Anderson. While not the filmmaker's best work (there the same sense of treading water that affected The Life Aquatic…) fans will find plenty to enjoy. And you'd be hard pushed to find any major faults with this disc's AVC 1.85:1 1080p encode and its autumnal palette and cinematic grain. The deceptively immersive DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is equally pleasing. Limited extras include a set tour and jokey cast and director profiles.
