Somebody help me understand!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2004)

Okay, so I believe myself to be reasonably intelligent, and I like a variety of movies from arthouse flicks, to stupid comedies, to fantasy adventures but for the love of everything good, I can not see ANY redeeming features from this film. I love Bill Murray, from his antics in Caddyshack and Ghostbusters to Rushmore and Royal Tannenbaums but this was horrid. Horrid in a way that screams to me in the background like the only reason this movie was even produced was because it had the name "Coppola" in the credits. Somebody help me understand why this movie is even nominated for an Oscar! I truly want to know what I am missing but I don't think I have ever been more bored with a film in my life, including ones that are only 2 minute documentaries on dirt. Please tell me that a movie about two people, doing nothing in a strange city is not going to get an Oscar. I love Bill Murray but if he wins the award it will be for Rushmore and not this sad pathetic film.
