I liked your description of the movie, although I haven't watched it yet. I like the "failure to launch" expression applied to our young adults today because it obvious among many of them.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear Wes Anderson's latest script is substandard, because I've enjoyed his previous films immensely. But it's interesting that it inspired you despite its flaws.

No doubt Wes Anderson has done far better work than this. And it's too bad, because there are ingredients in Asteroid City of a really fine comic film. The trailer was actually quite misleading, as it didn't preview Anderson's use of the "Our Town Gambit" at all.
