Trivia:
Director Trademark: [Wes Anderson] [peanuts]Max's dad is a barber, as was Charlie Brown's & "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz's. Max flies a kite, which Charlie Brown was often seen attempting. Max is seen wearing a winter cap and carrying a plant, similar to a scene with Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) (TV). In the beginning of the "December" sequence in the barber shop, a musical interlude from A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) (TV) can be heard playing in the background.

I think if you're looking for a straight up comedy, you'll be disappointed. This is not an easily classifiable film, but one that I love for its unique spin on some interesting characters. I especially like the fact that Max is not completely lovable, but in the end you root for him anyway. I found all the various reconciliations quite touching, and there's an interesting emphasis on friendships between people with lots of differences. Max's sidekick is younger than him, his crush is on a teacher much older, his friendship with Bill Murray's character who could be his father. Lots of heart here.
