Bill Murray does the right thing

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2012)

I doubt you can still consider what I write a spoiler considering it came out so long ago and my review is what number 1764? But IMDb are very fascist about these things!! Any ways I would have given this great movie 10/10 but didn't due to (drum roll) two reasons. One was my hard to shake Hollywood bias, the lead characters did not end up together. After the brilliant acting the leads pull off they managed to make me forget my "he's a bit old for her isn't he?" prejudice to the point where I'm routing for them to break off their "other" relationships for the beauty of the moment.
Last reason which is connected to the first reason is Bill Murray's character Bob Harris does the right thing. In the bathroom scene where Murray takes the call form his wife and he complains about wanting to eat more healthy and his wife tells him to stay there if he likes it so much I wanted him to say "yeah well I have met this very hot chick who's half my age and I think she is going to be my fourth Wife how do you like those apples?". For some reason the on screen connection is so good it makes you forget your moral code and say f&*k it, f&*k your material wife, f&*k the kids who are used to you not being there, f&*k your husband and his Facebook pictures and like Ben Stiller "Do it Do it!!" But he doesn't.
Instead of taking advantage of the young lady's moment of weakness he does what any ideal experienced human being should do in those situations and gave her advice....Oh and slept with an older woman instead
