It's good, but not the best thing ever. Bill Murray is great and the soundtracks, amazing!

Plodding overrated film that relies on xenophobic jokes & Murray's arrogant posturing

Interesting exploration of a concept. Although good music choices, poor placement in film

I remember this for great acting, filming and editing, but not for the most exciting story

Another yarn about relationships in these modern times. Okay but wasn't really taken in.

Incredibly complex and incredibly simple at the same time. Bill Murray brilliance!
