Ms. Coppola is very talented.

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2005)

Not a Bill Murray fan, here, although I've been warming to him since "Groundhog Day." At any rate, he gives a very nuanced performance, which is saying a lot for this acerbic comic actor. When I viewed this movie I had no idea that people hate it. I only just got that from reading this page. I found it refreshingly nonlinear. This is one viewer who is tired to death of trite formulas in Hollywood film-making, and this film sidesteps trite by a mile. I'm not a film expert by any means, just a thoughtful person who views with curiosity and an open mind. So take my recommendation at its face value, nothing more. I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to anyone who's attention span hasn't been ruined by contemporary television.
