On the Rocks

Bill Murray was charming and seemed completely natural. The father/daughter relationship was touching. I would definitely recommend this movie when you are ready for a character driven story instead of a super hero CGI movie.

4/10 - maybe my taste is just too low brow, but this movie ended without anything worthwhile happening, leaving me unfulfilled and feeling robbed of my time

Big fan of Coppola but this film was not good. I basically forgot I'd seen it within hours.

I couldn't disagree more with the bad reviews.This is a quiet film about a woman losing herself in her various roles as mother, wife, daughter, writer. It is also about communication (much like Lost in translation) and misunderstanding, about growing up and finding the confidence to define oneself as a woman apart from your father's shadow. In the end it is about love and relationships (also New York looks great). This is not a shallow film as some would have it, it is just not pretentious or full of pseudo-intellectual dialogue like most Baumbach or Ethan Hawke films. It's light -weight, real, tender and feminine and we need more of these. You can always rely on Bill Murray's charisma but Rashida Jones' sensitive performance is still the focus here.

A pointless bore fest, Bill Murray adds some sparkle and humour, Jones gives a solid performance but, it's dull dull dull, and utterly pointless. What a waste of 96 minutes.
