I thought I was the only other person who got the Buckaroo Bonzai ending! Your review is totally on target. I love too many of the fine details in the film to be totally objective. For Owen Wilson being from Texas, his Kentucky accent seemed to come and go, particularly when he was doing scenes with Cate Blanchett... maybe I'm listening too much. Maybe the story falls a bit because Owen Wilson wasn't co-writing with Wes Anderson, and that's why the Steve Zissou character is oddly bland in some scenes. Overall, I agree with Tikibot, all Wes Anderson films get better with multiple viewings, especially for detail-nuts like me, who will devour the DVD 'extras'.
