Review: Broken Flowers
Bill Murray as a one man show had his ups and downs. With Lost in Translations is was all the way up, which was the main reason I went to see The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (slightly disappointed). So Broken Flowers is another indie picture (Focus Features), and it looks like another one of those long stretched silent movies. Most of that time could be filled with story advancement or character development, but instead we get to see a detailed (but not so exciting) solo road trip. Here and there are some funny bits, but mostly it’s just pointless stuff leading to an unfinished story.6½.

Bill Murray just isn’t funny in any way. 😕
