Grand Budapest Hotel, The

Over-the-top characters dominate this Oscar-nominated, deliciously wacky, funny, cameo-dotted (Bill Murray, Jude Law, Owen Wilson, Tom Wilkinson, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, and Mathieu Amalric), 99-minute film in which a respected concierge (Ralph Fiennes) at an old-world European hotel during the 1940s is helped by a dedicated lobby boy (Tony Revolori), who is in love with a baker (Saoirse Ronan), when he erroneously is imprisoned for the murder of a wealthy dowager (Tilda Swinton) and then tries to prove his innocence after escaping prison with a tenacious policeman (Edward Norton) and a greedy son (Adrien Brody) hot on his trail.
