This is a movie where you wait for something to happen and nothing ever does! What's worse is that the ending did not resolve the story. Bill Murray as a kind of loser who receives an unsigned note from an old girlfriend claiming that he is the father of her child. Murray seeks out 4 old girlfriends to find out who might have sent it. The director tries to be cute by having the daughter of one of the women (named Lolita of course) walk around naked in front of him. This was supposed to be the comedy … more

Although the movie itself is interesting, well performed, engaging and mostly excellent, it just fails at the end. I was left wanting for a real ending

Life is mysterious. Sometimes bombshells shake us up. Life seems to be a run toward fulfillment with expectations that frustrate our deepest desires. Such is the quandry for Don Johnston (Bill Murray) who is a solitary middle-aged bachelor. His live in lover, Sherry (Julie Delpy) leaves him at the beginning. He seems slightly startled out of his orbit, but her complaints provide the crux of his situation. "You're never going to change," she complains. "I don't want to be with an over-the-hill Don … more

Jim Jarmusch continues his exploration of the human plight with BROKEN FLOWERS, a story he both wrote and directed, and this time he examines the psyche and the consequences of the Don Juan complex. In doing so he offers a quiet meditation about choices and their reverberations and leaves many thoughts open-ended, a definite tribute to the intelligence of his viewers and followers. Don Johnston (Bill Murray) is a middle aged bachelor who has devoted his life to being a success … more

Near the end of this film, a young man who might be Don Johnston's (Bill Murray's) son asks for a bit of philosophical wisdom from a fellow traveler. What he gets (see the title for this review) is not original but probably appropriate for one who gets described by almost everyone else as a "Don Juan." That is, of course, the idea behind the famous romancer: that romantic love and sex are all about the here and now (that is why romantic love and marriage are such uneasy "bed partners": the best … more
