The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

I checked out the DVD and we watched "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" http://lifeaquatic.movies.go.com/main.html It was very bizarre. I'm not sure if it was a satire of Jacques Cousteau or what they were trying to do. Bill Murray was his normal self. Owen Wilson was supposed to be his son and Angelica Houston his estranged wife. Jeff Goldblum was another oceanographer that was much more successful. I guess you have to be in that field to understand all the humor. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it at the theatre.

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).
