comedy and drama are both lost

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2004)

I should beware of movies touted as "comedy-drama". These movies, for the most part, are not dramatic enough to move me nor are they funny enough to make me laugh. I got a few laughs out of this movie, but nothing ever really happens. I don't mind "slice of life" movies, but NOTHING happens in this movie. Maybe there should be more conflict with Bill and his career, Bill and his family, more conflict about ANYTHING at all would be good in order to qualify as a drama. To be qualified as a comedy, a movie should make you laugh, certainly more than once or twice. That's about all of the laughs I got out of this one. I really like Bill Murray but "best actor"? I don't think so.
