Moonrise Kingdom

Indie, Dry Comedy
4.5 stars
Cute, quirky coming-of-age film. Bruce Willis stars as a local sheriff searching for two missing 12 years olds who have run off together. Ed Norton plays the local Khaki Scout leader, and Bill Murray and Frances McDormand play the missing girl’s parents. Other notable stars with smaller roles include Tilda Swinton, Harvey Kietel and Jason Schwartzman. But the real stars are the oddball runaways: Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward. It wasn’t as funny as I’d hoped, but the quirky charm won me over. Good movie.
