Broken Flowers

Susan likes Bill Murray, so we watched this on DVD. Should have been a good movie - check out the cast! But in the end, it was not interesting, entertaining, or enjoyable. Bill Murray played Bill Murray with a dopey look through out the movie.
Watched the movie through to the end to check out the actresses - Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Jessica Lange, etc. All the women were great in their little bit part.

This is a story of a middle-aged, wealthy, emotionally bankrupt man who gets an anonymous letter telling him that he has a son (one born 19 years ago). Wilson, his amusing Ethiopian neighbor (and really Murray's surrogate family) comes up with a plan to have Murray go back and visit his girlfriends of 20 years past.

While revisiting the past could prove interesting, the movie did not do a good job holding one's interest - in spite of meeting the animal communicator. Some parts are funny, but mostly this is not a movie to rush out to see.
