I wasn't sure what to expect, even after watching the trailers, but since I have always liked Bill Murray I figured it was worth a shot and I was not disappointed. This movie brought many emotions out of me and I found it to be an easy watch and really enjoyed the roles played by McCarthy and Watts. Especially the accent by Watts, as thick as Russian you will ever find and she had the persona down too. I won't give any plot lines away but I will say this was well worth the time.

Funny and sweet. I'm not a Bill Murray fan, but he was solid.

perhaps I like it because I'm a curmudgeon and we need more good curmudgeon movies. ;) Heart-warming tale with top quality acting.

The first scene features the Murray character being "serviced" by a part-time prostitute, so I would personally not rate it PG 13, but R. Vincent (Murray) has a filthy mouth, is unkind to almost everyone, especially to the boy, Oliver's mother, played by McCarthy. Eventually in the film we find out why he chooses to be rude, untruthful, unkind, and to behave in ways that are unlawful. The boy and his mother give him a pass; I don't know that I would.
What's really good about the movie, in my opinion, are the actor who plays Oliver. It's his first movie, and I think he's wonderful. Also, McCarthy is calmer and more understated than I've seen her be on SNL where she is coarse and crude. I like this persona much better.

interesting accents, not super deep but cute kind of funny and sarcastic. Emotional at end. a little cliche parts, Reminded me a bit of the crotchety old clint eastwood of gran turino. Melissa mccarthy shines in understated role, chris o'dowd super funny

Very good acting and plot line. Something worth a watch and thought.

One of my favorite movies that I have watched several times, it works because all the characters play their roles to perfection, and we end up loving them all, even Vincent. Imperfect all, just like us, the movie is sweet without becoming saccharine.

Agree, not for young children. Still it's a great movie. Good acting, good lesson on hold your option on face value until you know more about a person. Funny, far fetched, yet entertaining. Bill Murray is brilliant as are all other main characters.

Equally funny and touching, with the subtext of not judging others because we may not know their history or the root causes for their behaviour. Great movie.

Recommended.
