The adults are all suffering identity crises, of one degree of severity or another. (“What do you do?” / “I’m a math teacher. No, I’m a scout leader.”) The children haven’t (yet) learned self doubt. The final scene with Sam and Suzy is hopeful for their future, at least.

In Wes Anderson’s universe, Children hold more wisdom than adults. :-)

I like that kind of universe, because it’s the one we live in. ^_^

An absolute great film!

No need for that. :O)

Not everyone appreciates the trademark Anderson quirkiness, but for those who do I can’t imagine not liking MOONRISE KINGDOM. His best movie is still THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS though.

You know where I stand on seeing movies in the theater, so I won’t repeat myself. :-)

I love The Royal Tenenbaums; it's a great suggestion. :O) I'd also heard nothing by high praise for Moonrise Kingdom an can't wait to watch it. I know that not wanting to see it on the big screen may seem a tad pretentious, but I've grown to prefer watching movies at home on my 42" plasma. I also believe that movies like Moonrise Kingdom will definitely look superior on Blu-ray (than in the theatres) so truly I can't wait to see it when it comes out to video! :O)
