Fading film star meets an unloved wife and nothing happens

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2007)

Bill Murray is in Japan, filming a lucrative Scotch Ad. He meets a young American woman,Scarlett Johanssen. Each is unhappy with their partner, she there in Japan, his back in the USA. There is some witty and realistic dialogue. Nothing happens. They watch TV together nothing happens. Towards the end of the movie he meets another woman, in the hotel bar, and something happens. The following morning SJ comes to his room and realises there is another woman in there,she leaves, nothing happens. He is on way to airport in a limo, and he sees SJ, he jumps out and speaks to her and nothing happens. Finis. The reviews of this movie were generally excellent, which made the reality of it all the more disappointing. I like Bill, I like Scarlett, but as I may have mentioned, nothing happens.
