The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou Movie Synopsis

Eccentric, down-but-not-out oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his motley crew -- Team Zissou -- find themselves in troubled waters when they attempt to track down the mysterious "jaguar shark" that ate his partner while filming a documentary of their latest adventure. Adding to his nautical nightmares, Zissou must contend with a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) assigned to write a profile, and a new member of the team who might possibly be his long-lost son (Owen Wilson). The unsinkable Zissou faces hilarious complications trying to keep his expedition afloat while bailing out from budgetary woes and a host of other challenges (including a close encounter with marauding pirates).

Different but good. It is really like no other movie which was a pleasent change. The subtle humour gave a sophisticated touch. I did have to watch it twice though to fully appreciate it.

This is a black-eye for Bill Murray fans...He just looks BAD!!!

What a complete waste of time,Bill Murray was one of my favorite actors, but now he has become very depressing to watch. And his choice of movies shows he isn`t interested in comedy as most of us know it.
