\n\"\"<\/a>Moonrise Kingdom<\/em> (IMDB<\/a>) is an offbeat comedy by Wes Anderson. Like many of his movies it deals with strangely eloquent misfits confronted by clueless but well-meaning normal people.\n<\/div>\n

The story is set on a bucolic island off the coast of Maine in 1965. (Don’t worry about anachronisms; this is a fable, not history.) Two troubled 12-year-olds, Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) and Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward), run off together and vanish into the wilderness. Sam is equipped with Indian-themed camping gear taken from his “Khaki Scout” troop. Suzy brings a kitten, a battery-powered record player and a suitcase full of juvenile fantasy novels. Though nobody realizes it, a major hurricane is bearing down on the island.<\/p>\n

Sam’s scoutmaster Randy Ward (Edward Norton) takes charge of the search along with Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis) the lone police officer on the island. They are both well-meaning but the young scouts they deputize to help seem to be auditioning for roles in Lord of the Flies<\/em>. Suzy’s parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) are loud but ineffectual.<\/p>\n

There are some scary moments (and a few that are cringe-inducing) but everything works out fairly well in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
