I agree. It seems to me as if the performances that Anderson got out of these actors is astounding. It is one of the best performances I've ever seen Bill Murray give. But, I don't feel real qualified to judge performances. Would others agree or disagree with me on this one? and why?

Here's my laymans perspective of why I liked the performances:
They are all very believable characters, often with unbelievable lines/situations. They pull the humor off marvelously--and again, it's humor that could've easily tanked. And, I believe that it was Jason S's first major motion picture, yet he seemed very comfortable in front of the camera--his performance didn't seemed forced at all.
