I recognize that Bill Murray is a wonderful actor. I also think the actor who played the kid was great, and Naomi Watts was outstanding. The plot involves a curmudgeon who nonetheless manages to affect people’s lives in positive ways.
I didn’t buy it. Look at the way Vincent treats the bank teller. Look at the way he gambles thousands of dollars on a long shot at the track. He drinks. He smokes. He’s irresponsible. I don’t think he is cute--not one bit. I wanted to slap him. I really did not like this movie.
Linda, by the way, totally disagrees with me, but she’s wrong.
