"Wait for me! Before you two start hitting each other." Lionsgate has debuted a second official trailer for the crime comedy film Riff Raff, which already opened in theaters last month. Not to be mixed up with the 1935 classic with Spencer Tracy. It's a new film from New Yorker filmmaker Dito Montiel - currently only has a 59% on Rt for better or worse. It first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year and will be out on VOD this week (first trailer here). One-time criminal Vince turned his life around when he fell in love with Sandy. Nearly 20 years later, the still-happy couple are looking forward to spending a quiet New Year’s Eve with their son. But then Vince's other son, Rocco, shows up with his pregnant girlfriend, Marina, along with Vince's first wife, Ruth, in tow. It is not a happy reunion... Ruth is rude & lewd, while Rocco is clearly hiding something.

It feels like the star-studded crime drama or comedy doesn’t really happen if it’s made for less than $10 million dollars. But “Riff Raff,” the new comedy from director Dito Montiel (“A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints”), appears to be the exception.

The film’s super-stacked cast includes Jennifer Coolidge, Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Lewis Pullman, Miles J. Harvey, Emanuela Postacchini, Michael Angelo Covino, Pete Davidson, and Bill Murray.

Ghostbusters' Bill Murray and Ed Harris are set to reunite once again, following their recent collaboration, for a gripping new neo-noir crime thriller movie.

Following their recent collaboration in the dark comedy Riff Raff, Murray and Westworld's Ed Harris are set to reunite for The Ploughmen, a neo-noir crime thriller directed by Harris.

Harris, who also wrote the screenplay, will step behind the camera for the first time in 17 years to bring the story to life.

The cast features an impressive lineup, including Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Owen Teague, Hulk's Nick Nolte, Amy Madigan, and Lily Harris. The film follows Val Millimaki (Teague), a young deputy sheriff in Montana tasked with interrogating a captured murderer, Gload (Nolte). As Millimaki struggles with the moral burden of his job,...

Over three decades after the release of the classic film Groundhog Day, actor Bill Murray has opened up about a memorable on-set incident involving his furry co-star.

During a recent appearance on First We Feast's "Hot Ones" to promote his exciting new movie Riff Raff, Murray showcased a scar on his finger, attributing it to bites from the groundhog during filming. "I'm not flipping you off, but that right there, that nodule there, that's from the groundhog," Murray explained, displaying his middle finger. "He got me back to back, two days in a row. And the second day, I thought I was being smart, and I put some fisherman's gloves, like steel gloves on, underneath the gloves I was wearing. His teeth went right through the steel."

This revelation sheds light on the challenges faced during the production of the 1993 classic comedy, where Murray portrayed Phil Connors, a cynical and...

Sean Baker’s Anora from Neon — which swept the Academy Awards for Best Director, Picture, Original Screenplay, Lead Actress and Editing – added 800+ screens to celebrate after the ceremony last Sunday and brought in in an estimated $1.86 million for the three-day weekend. The cume after 21 weeks in theaters now stands at $18.45 million.

Anora stands at no. 7 this week, making for an impressive five indies in the top 10 this week

Neon’s The Monkey takes the fourth spot in week 3 with a cume of $31 million. And two other indies round out the top ten with Rule Breakers from Angel Studios seeing $1.59 million on 2,044 screens, at no. 9, and In The Lost Lands from Vertical, based on an a short story by George R.R.

Bill Murray deadpanned his way through the Wings of Death and three interruptions — two from his own phone’s alarms and one from fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson — on Thursday’s edition of “Hot Ones.”

The saucy interview’s first interruption came while Murray was in the midst of answering a question about the difficulty of making audiences laugh versus making them cry when his phone started loudly blaring. “Is that your phone?” host Sean Evans asked, to which Murray dryly responded, “Yeah, I set an alarm for myself to remember to try to show up for the show.”

Silencing the noise, Murray added, “I’m not crazy about that alarm. It’s the best one they have. I had a BlackBerry that had a much nicer alarm; very beautiful, very elegant way to wake up in the morning. It almost felt like you were being lifted up.

Bill Murray’s deadpan remains undefeated — even by the worst First We Feast’s Hot Ones had to offer. The pop culture legend appeared on the YouTube hot-wings-eating talk show hosted by Sean Evans to discuss his new movie Riff Raff, and seemed to enjoy it immensely. He certainly fared better than his Riff Raff co-star Pete Davidson, who pops by at the end of the episode for a quick cameo — only to immediately start suffering.

Right at the start, Murray explains that he’s not afraid of the spice levels at Chinese or Mexican restaurants, and at one point points out that he thinks “sriracha is cheating.” While working their way through the usual lineup of chicken, Murray calmly answers Evans’ questions about the movie he thought was his best work (the Jim Jarmusch movie Flowers) and his old garage band (The Dutch Masters). Murray also confirms several rumors,...

There’s nothing quite like a dark comedy to get the blood pumping. Add in some unique performances from all-time greats like Bill Murray and Ed Harris and you’ve got the makings for a very interesting time at the movies. Riff Raff is a story of family, consequences, and whether people truly change. I didn’t love the film (you can check out my review Here) but it certainly has some performances that stand out. Whether it’s Bill Murray being a bad guy or Pete Davidson as his muscle, there are plenty of “against type” performances her that give it a unique identity.

I was fortunate enough to chat with Jennifer Coolidge and Gabrielle Union about the film, and it truly sounded like a unique experience. Jennifer broke down how often people approach her for roles they deem “perfect for her” only for her to not see where she fit in.

Bill Murray expertly navigated a plate of spicy wings — with an assist from Pete Davidson — when the actor guested on the latest episode of Hot Ones.

“Well, I do like spicy foods: When I go to an Asian restaurant, I look for the red stars, and when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I ask for the stuff in the back,” Murray told host Sean Evans.

Bill Murray has revealed that he got “surprisingly emotional” during “SNL50” last month, crying several times throughout the anniversary special.

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” (via Entertainment Weekly), the legendary comedian told host Sway Calloway that he couldn’t hold back his tears when he wasn’t on screen. “It was surprisingly emotional,” he sad. “I wept three times in the show. It really got to me.”

Murray said he wept because “obviously, there’s a lot of video and history that they’re showing and I didn’t see it coming.” Watching a clip of late cast member Gilda Radner alongside friend Steve Martin particularly affected him.

“There was Gilda [Radner] up there dancing with Steve Martin and I remember being there, watching them rehearse that dance number for days and days and days. I love Gilda, I was crazy about Gilda. And I sort of came apart,...

Jennifer Coolidgewas eager to try something different after her acclaimed time on The White Lotus. The role of Tanya, however, worked in her favor for Riff Raff, her new star-studded film. Director Dito Montiel fell in love with The White Lotus and Coolidge’s portrayal of Tanya. So much so that he wanted the actress to come aboard his new dark comedy. “I think he did say he wanted me to do it because he saw The White Lotus and said, ‘I know that lady,' or whatever," Coolidge told MovieWeb in a recent interview. “But hopefully, I did something different [from Tanya] because I didn't see that much of a similarity in the two characters.”

I just hope there's more of this, it's a small film. There are only a few people in the f****** film. There are only a few people in the film but it's such a small, compact, amazing story, and John Pollono's writing...it's all like watching an orchestra piece, it all works for some reason."The 'White Lotus' star - who appears alongside the likes of...

There were two new movies to hit theaters this weekend — Last Breath and Riff Raff — and while both feature their fair share of star power, one performed much worse than the other. Riff Raff, which stars Jennifer Coolidge alongside Ed Harris and Bill Murray, opened with less than $1 million at the box office this weekend, finishing with only $901,000. Riff Raff was only playing on 1,004 screens, but this is still a per-theater total of $897, the second-lowest of any movie in the top 15 this weekend except Heart Eyes. Riff Raff was written by John Pollono and directed by Dito Montiel, and the film earned a 56% from critics and a 55% from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Dog Man's Pete Davidson and The White Lotus' Jennifer Coolidge may come from very different corners of the entertainment world, but their time together on the movieRiff Raff resulted in a memorable collaboration.

According to THR, Davidson, known for his sharp comedic style on Saturday Night Live and his offbeat roles in films like The King of Staten Island, had a unique way of describing his co-star. Meanwhile, Coolidge, an Emmy-winning actress celebrated for her work in The White Lotus and American Pie, had her own unexpected observations about Davidson’s personality. As both actors reflect on their time filming, their comments offer insight into the dynamic between two of Hollywood’s most distinct personalities.

Sept. 29, 2006 forever changed Dito Montiel and Robert Downey Jr.’s lives.

It was not only the day that Downey was officially cast as Tony Stark in Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, but it was also the theatrical release date of Montiel’s debut indie drama A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, starring Downey as a semi-autobiographical version of Montiel. The day cemented Downey’s return to industry prominence after a series of highly publicized personal struggles, and the random fall Friday had just as much meaning for Montiel after many of his own storybook ups and agonizing downs.

As a native of Queens in New York City, Montiel was something of a renaissance man before becoming a filmmaker. In the ’80s, he was a mainstay in NYC’s hardcore punk scene as the teenage frontman of Major Conflict. In 1989, his new band, Gutterboy, signed a then-record $1 million deal with Geffen Records.

'Riff Raff' is a star-studded new crime comedy with Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Bill Murray, Pete Davidson, Lewis Pullman, and, of course, Jennifer Coolidge. The actor talks about her infamous crotch-grab scene, director Dito Montiel, and how she made her 'Riff Raff' character much different from Tanya McQuoid in 'The White Lotus.' 'Riff Raff' was released Feb. 28, 2025.

In 'Riff Raff,' a former criminal's ordinary life turns upside down when his old family shows up for a long-awaited reunion.

Bill Murray is a heartless hit man named Lefty, Pete Davidson is his son and fellow murdering psycho Lonnie, and the rest as targets for the two. The story is about Rocco (Lewis Pullman), who is now on the lam from Lefty and Lonnie, running away with his pregnant galpal Marina (Emmanuela Postacchini) and foul-mouthed mother Ruth (Jennifer Coolidge), and ending up at the house of his father Vincent (Ed Harris), his second wife Sandy (Gabrielle Union) and stepson DJ (Miles J.

The last time I went on a ‘peaceful’ family getaway, I thought I had found the golden ticket—a weekend cabin retreat, nestled in nature, complete with good food, downtime, and the promise of some much-needed peace. Well, let’s just say that it turned into a chaotic, stress-filled experience in record time. Ever had one of those days where you just want to escape the world, retreat to a quiet cabin, and forget about all the noise?

That’s what Vincent (Ed Harris) and his family thought they were doing in Dito Montiel’s Riff Raff—a peaceful getaway.

But this flick doesn’t just dip its toes in humor; it leaps in with both feet, showing how family reunions can go from cringe-worthy to a full-blown disaster,...

Jennifer Coolidge and Pete Davidson are both one of a kind.

The Emmy-winning actress recently recalled to People magazine the moment she realized her Riff Raff co-star was “one of the most unpredictable people” she has ever met.

While filming the crime comedy, currently playing in theaters, in “the middle of winter,” Coolidge said the cast and crew were “immediately thrust” into small spaces together as they attempted to escape the frigid temperatures.

“I remember one day it was freezing … and I was in the house [where we filmed], and then this Rolls-Royce pulls up. And I was like, ‘Who’s that? It must be the owner of the house, right?'” The White Lotus star recounted. “And then it’s Pete Davidson in his Rolls-Royce. That car didn’t quite go with the neighborhood or any of the experience. But then I thought, ‘He’s doing his own thing.’ I was never as interesting as that,...

Jennifer Coolidge has portrayed dozens of roles over the course of her acting career, but she can still remember the unpleasant experience of one of her earliest performances. This goes back to a play she took on as a child, but the bait-and-switch she was given with her role left her feeling frustrated.

Coolidge discussed the situation during a new interview with Grae Drake of Cbr to promote her newest movie, Riff Raff, which is now in theaters. When asked if she had any stage play experience as a child, Coolidge was instantly reminded of the time she was cast for a role in a rendition of The Wizard of Oz. She went for the lead role of Dorothy, feeling very confident about her audition, though she also read for the secondary character of Auntie Em. Coolidge admits she was then let down when the production cast her as Auntie Em instead of Dorothy.

There’s nothing quite as fun as a biting black comedy, and the best ones will have you laughing out loud one minute, and cringing in your seat the next. Riff Raff is one such story, taking a messy, blended family affair and kicking it up a notch with a healthy dose of mayhem and murder. When reformed criminal Vincent's (Ed Harris) past comes back to haunt him, a quiet trip to the cabin with his wife (Gabrielle Union) and son (Miles J. Harvey) turns into a violent reunion with estranged family members and trigger-happy criminals. Featuring sidesplitting performances from its stacked cast and some gnarly, shocking twists, Dito Montiel's Riff Raff is as fun as it is jaw-dropping, and will keep you entranced (and at times mildly disturbed), for its entire wacky runtime.

Filmmaker Dito Montiel guides us through his new star-studded crime comedy 'Riff Raff,' which features Ed Harris, Bill Murray, Pete Davidson, Lewis Pullman, Jennifer Coolidge, Gabrielle Union, and others. Montiel discusses his DIY indie approach, his influences, and his great cast. 'Riff Raff' is now in theaters from Roadside Attractions, Grindstone Entertainment Group, and Lionsgate Films.

In 'Riff Raff,' the life of a former criminal is thrown into turmoil when his old family appear for a long-awaited reckoning.

If you’re not rushing out to catch Oscar nominees before Sunday’s ceremony there are more new films in theaters now than there have been in weeks. Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Wicked and more are still out there but screens have opened for a crop of moderate releases.

Grindstone and Roadside Attractions open dysfunctional family crime comedy Riff Raff on just over 1,000 screens. The film by Dito Monteil, which was warmly received at its TIFF 2024 premiere (see Deadline review), was adapted by John Pollono from a stage script from a 1995 production of the same name written by actor Laurence Fishburne.

The ensemble cast features Jennifer Coolidge, Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Lewis Pullman, Pete Davidson, Bill Murray, Miles J. Harvey and Emanuela Postacchini.

The story follows Vincent, an ex-criminal seeking a normal life and a nice weekend at a winter cabin with his wife Sandy and their son...

Plot: Vincent is an ex-criminal who more than anything, just wants a normal, peaceful life. He and his wife Sandy have built a loving family with their son DJ and are spending the winter break in a cabin before he goes off to college. Chaos ensues when Vincent’s disowned son Rocco, his girlfriend Marina and Vincent’s ex-wife Ruth abruptly show up to spoil the festivities with an ominous warning: the famed gangsters Leftie and Lonnie are coming for them.

Review: Sometimes a film comes along and the cast is enough to convince you to take the leap. No plot or motivations uttered, just a poster featuring an intriguing cast of characters. And there are few lineups more intriguing than one that includes Bill Murray, Ed Harris, Jennifer Coolidge, Gabrielle Union, Pete Davidson, and Lewis Pullman. Add in some out of the box performances, and Riff Raff had all...

Jennifer Coolidge stole the show in The White Lotus Season 1 as Tanya McQuoid. Her character was so popular that she returned for Season 2 as the show moved from Hawai'i to Italy. Tanya's story would end there as she met an untimely death. However, Tanya's new husband Greg (Jon Gries) was untrustworthy and, in Season 2, it was insinuated that he had been planning her murder so he could inherit her property. He seemed to have won but in Season 3, viewers were surprised that he'd moved to Thailand. Coolidge has moved on to other projects, but is she watching the season her character is not part of? "Yes, I am," she told Forbes while discussing her new comedy film, Riff Raff. "And I’m envious as hell." Coolidge was surprised Greg was back and she shared her thoughts on the season, saying:...

The term “riff-raff” refers to “disreputable or undesirable people,” according to the Oxford Dictionary, and Ditto Montiel’s latest film cannot be accused of false advertising. Although characters you love to hate are certainly in right now — just see Succession or The White Lotus — Riff Raff’s attempts to be satirical in this way fail miserably, resulting in a movie that is dull and difficult to connect with.

Riff Raff Review

Riff Raff follows a former criminal whose now idyllic life is thrown askew when his estranged son shows up carrying a dark secret that makes this family reunion anything but happy. Although a low-concept crime comedy with an A-list cast like this sounds like an exciting prospect, the truth is that this potential is incredibly wasted.

The main character in “Riff Raff“ is Riff Raff (played by Pete Davidson). He’s a former criminal, meaning he wants to turn his life around. Instead, his life gets turned upside down when he reunites with certain family members.

Pete Davidson is a comedian, actor, and writer. Most people know him because he was a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), from 2014 to 2022. His Comedy Specials include: “Pete Davidson: Smd” (2016), “Pete Davidson: Alive from New York” (2020), and “Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli” (2024). Additionally, his movies include: “The King of Staten Island” (2020), and “The Suicide Squad” (2021). His career in the entertainment industry continues to flourish. Bill Murray also began his career in entertainment as a cast...

According to Bill Murray, his reputation for on-set prickliness is simply the result of his remarkable work ethic, which means that he could have just been method acting as a pervert on that Aziz Ansari movie.

At 74 years old, the Saturday Night Live legend and comedy icon has a complicated legacy in the eyes of a general public that once universally adored him. While humor fans of past eras couldn’t conceive of Dr. Peter Venkman ever being anything besides a consummate comedy professional on-set, we have since learned from Murray’s female co-stars and female staffers on his films that Murray’s explosive temper and his extreme touchiness made him the living nightmare of many women in the entertainment business.

Thankfully for Murray, the comedy world has mostly agreed to look the other way when it comes to his workplace misconduct, and during Murray’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers yesterday,...

Two Ghostbustersare set to co-star in a new odd couple comedy movie from director Max Barbakow (Brothers).

The film, titled Epiphany, will be launched this week in Berlin at the European Film Market by Rocket Science, CAA Media Finance, and Range Media Partners. Epiphany stars Wiig as Favorite Ives, who is a fashionista and heiress who loses her fortune overnight.

Favorite then goes on a two-week mission to find a rich husband while she fights creditors and tries to keep a roof over her head. Wiig’s Favorite then meets Oz Bell (Murray), who is an eccentric billionaire and also a math savant and Oz ends up needing Favorite’s “spirit and spontaneity as much as she needs his money.

There’s something embarrassing about being hunted down by a gangster who calls himself Leftie and runs around with a henchman called Lonnie.

Coolidge plays the ex-wife of a former mobster, played by Ed Harris, who tries to warn her family that two gangsters (Pete Davidson and Bill Murray) from their past are out to get them.

The official synopsis reads: “Vincent (Harris) is an ex-criminal who more than anything, just wants a normal, peaceful life. He and his wife Sandy (Gabrielle Union) have built a loving family with their son DJ (Miles J. Harvey) and are spending the winter break in a cabin before he goes off to college. Chaos ensues when Vincent’s disowned son Rocco (Lewis Pullman), his girlfriend Marina (Emanuela Postacchini), and Vincent’s ex-wife Ruth (Coolidge) abruptly show up to spoil the festivities with an ominous warning: the famed gangsters Leftie (Murray) and Lonnie (Davidson) are coming for them.

If movies have taught us anything, it’s that you should never kill someone related to a ruthless gangster. It’s just common sense at this point. But a character in “Riff Raff” might have to learn that lesson the hard way.

"Wait for me – before you two start hitting each other." Lionsgate has unveiled the first official trailer for a crime comedy called Riff Raff, the latest film directed by New Yorker filmmaker Dito Montiel. Not to be confused with the 1935 classic with Spencer Tracy. This first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year, and will be out in theaters in February. One-time criminal Vince turned his life around when he fell in love with Sandy. Nearly 20 years later, the still-happy couple are looking forward to spending a quiet New Year’s Eve with their son. But then Vince's other son, Rocco, shows up unannounced with his pregnant girlfriend, Marina, and Vince's first wife, Ruth, in tow. It is not a happy reunion. Ruth is rude & lewd, while Rocco — who never divested left the family business — is clearly hiding something. Hot on Rocco's tail is Lefty, an aging mafioso with...

Bill Murray concedes he hasn’t been proactive about finding work as an actor. The “Groundhog Day” and “Lost in Translation” star has appeared in just a few independent films, such as 2024’s ensemble crime comedy “Riff Raff” and Naomi Watts-led drama “The Friend,” in recent years.

“I’ve been lazy,” Murray said at Sundance Film Festival during a fireside chat on Sunday with critic Elvis Mitchell at the Elvis Suite. “I don’t have an agent anymore, so I’m not the first person people think of to be in studio movies.”

However, Murray, who reprised roles in 2023’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and last year’s “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” has a renewed desire to get back in front of the camera.

“Only in this last year, doing these [indie movies], has reawakened me about searching for material,” he said. “I’ve lived the life of a bass… waiting...

Two years after his exit from Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson is getting back in touch with himself without the distraction of the spotlight.

The comedian, who was a cast member on SNL from 2014 to 2022, explained why he’s taken a step back from the public eye in recent years after the media “chose to go after” him amid his series of high-profile relationships.

“Luckily, I got hit on the face with the Hollywood shovel,” he told W. “It was a long time coming, and I needed it. I’m very happy where I am right now, mentally.”

Davidson added, “I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it’s movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen. I don’t want to be this f—ing loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am.
