...film overall feels choppy and nonsensical, there is certainly entertainment value to be found in the characters and their misadventures. Steve Buscemi delivers yet another excellent performance, imbuing John with a quirky yet weary demeanor. Romany Malco, known for his role in “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” makes Virgil perfectly indignant and mysterious, mocking John more than helping him. The two have excellent on-screen chemistry, and convincingly play off each other with sarcastic...
...lucky enough to meet Mr. Tarr in person over winter break. He and his family organize an annual banquet in New York City to meet and keep in touch with new and old Tarr Scholars, a group made up of Harvard students on financial aid from New York or Maine.

...Louis' newness is agreeably tempered by its location in a 100-year-old building overlooking the charming Viktualienmarkt (Victuals Market). This Munich institution imparts a wonderful sense of place to the Louis - something that many of today's increasingly formulaic boutique hotels are in dire need of. Here the breakfast buffet is full of fresh ingredients bought just a few feet away and every night the restaurant is filled with hungry locals. What Ludwig would have made of the sushi on the menu, however, is anyone's guess...
