A princely cast of actors stars in the comedy The Royal Tenenbaums. From the writer and director of Rushmore, the film features Academy Awardwinners Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love), Gene Hackman (Enemy of the State) and Anjelica Huston (The Grifters) with Emmy-winner Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents) and Emmy-nominees Bill Murray (Charlie's Angels) and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon). The Tenenbaum children were a family of geniuses Chas had an inborn understanding of international finance and started buying real estate in his early teens; Margot was a Pulitzer-winning playwright by the ninth grade; and Richie was an adolescent US Nationals champion tennis player. They were brilliant, they were famous...they were unlucky enough to have Royal Tenenbaum as their father. After divorcing their mother Etheline and running out on the family, Royal returns 22 years later to make amends. But two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster has not exactly endeared Royal to his children...who have since lost all traces of brilliance. An award-winning cast plus a supremely funny script equal a regal hit film that will please all audiences!
