I cannot understand all the great reviews of this!

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2004)

I cannot understand all the great reviews of this film, but then I have seldom agreed with our local newspaper critic. This time around, most of the critics around the country praised the film and the acting. My best friend loved it while I wanted to walk out, but then I often dance to a different drummer. I have never been a fan of Bill Murray as a comic and this film did not make me a fan of his dramatic talent. I assume there must be some there. It was boring, slow-moving and whoever told Bill he could sing has an enormous tin ear. Yes, I understand the loneliness of two people in a strange place, but for two hours, it gets to be a bit much! The romance has left me in my old age, I guess.
