“Asteroid City” (** out of four) was a meandering melodrama set in an American desert town in 1955 in which the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer convention and the lives of many of the townsfolk (Tom Hanks, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, and many others) are disrupted. Just a series of character vignettes that add up to nothing, like too many other of writer/director Wes Anderson’s works. With that cast, it’s easy to watch but equally as easy to forget and too much of the cast is left high-and-dry. This is director Anderson’s first work since his debut “Bottle Rocket” not to feature Bill Murray.
