Tried to give it a chance

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2004)

I like Bill Murray, but (sigh) this was one tedious film. I know that this was meant to be tender and sensitive, thoughtful and so forth, but unlike something like say American beauty, which seemed to capture that mood in a gripping and interesting unexpected way.
This was just like a documentary of a miserable lonely exhausted man that has a few brief moments of interest and fun in an otherwise stale trip abroad.
If you're in anything other than a really good mood, I'd give this one a wide berth..
sorry Bill.
