Review of On the Rocks (2020) by Tvjerry — 10 Oct 2020
If you’re a Bill Murray fan, the latest film written/directed by Sofia Coppola will make you happy. Otherwise, not so much. Rashida Jones plays a New York mom who begins to suspect that her work-obsessed hubby (Marlon Wayans) is cheating.
Her father (Murray) plants the seeds of suspicion and helps her discover the truth. The story and interactions are mildly interesting, even though there’s little modification in the pace or energy. The performances are fine, but it’s mostly Murphy’s showcase.
He plays very much to type as a charming, eccentric, off-center womanizer. I’ve never been a big admirer of his style, so there wasn’t much else to recommend this most pedestrian of Coppola’s films.
