Oh, to walk the cobblestone boulevards of Wes Anderson's 'Guardians of Elegance,' where the attire is as sharp as the wit, and the conspiracies are as thick as Peckarrot O’Toole's accent! It's a cinematic confection that spreads itself thin across the fine line between slapstick and statesmanship, with a G rating that stands not for General but for 'Gosh-darn graceful.' As O'Toole bumbles through the maze of power, his deadpan demeanor finds its match in Boyd Holbrookie's seasoned growls, while Bread Astaire dances around potential pitfalls with a flair that only a name like 'Bread' could promise. The trio could have easily waltzed into farce, yet they pirouette on the edge of satire with the elegance of a tuxedoed swan. It's a 'dramedy' that tickles the ribs while gently jabbing at the guts of governance. So, let the record show, albeit marred by an occasional indulgence in its own whimsy, 'Guardians of Elegance' earns a jovial 7.8 score on the critic's scale. It's the kind of film where you leave the theater with a smirk, feeling a tad more dapper than when you entered, and perhaps, just slightly more suspicious of your neighborhood watch program.
