I'm admittedly a huge NON fan of Bill Murray... sacrilege, I know... But Im not.

Nor do I like Melissa McCarthy... at all.

Anyways.... Point being, this is a great film. Bill Murray will almost certainly be nominated for Best Actor, and boy, does he ever deserve it.

Been a while since Ive seen a film so touching and yet, so humorous. Really well done. Must also be said that I did shed a tear...

Losing my memory or having my significant other losing their memory is my biggest fear in life... this film hits that premise right on the head.

Go see it.

thx for the spoiler

I ranked it a B

It was an A when I left the theater because of the emotional punches at the end, but there are too many plot holes

Spoiler

(where is the money to pay for everything, Vincent came back from the stroke way too early, Terrance Howard would not stop collecting money because of the stroke)

to justify an A.


Bill Murray's accent was a problem. Heck Naomi Watts Russian Accent was better than Murrays' Boston accent.

But Jaeden Lieberher as Oliver is fantastic (there wasn't a dry eye in the theater when he gave his speech). Melissa McCarthy, who I usually dislike, was very good as Oliver's mom. And Bill Murray, other than his accent, was excellent

 

[Soulfly3]

Yep, the speech got me. Hard.

Agree w pretty much everything you posted. Gave it a strong 7-7.5 depending on my mood

I really liked it.

 

[Capella]

Great movie. Murray is the best, man. Should have been nominated.

I am admittedly a huge fan of Murray and this was one of his best performances. Great movie.

 

[EYLive]

I a tad misty-eyed at the speech.

But I wish it stayed funny throughout. It got a little slow during the serious parts.

I liked the kid a lot.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

[tommyboy]

[EYLive]

The kid was excellent.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Loved it, the kid's speech was great

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Loved it. Murray is awesome, whole cast is great. But the whole thing got me.
