Review of Rock the Kasbah (2015) by Rob M — 05 Nov 2015

Oh, what a horrible waste of Bill Murray! For a comedy, this movie is not funny. For any social commentary it tries to have, it fails. For any style it tries to have, it has none. Rock the Kasbah is just really bad.

It's the product of a Screenwriting 101 class. All the characters hit the generic marks that you'd expect them to, everyone learns there lesson, something about bland Cat Stevens covers, and then it ends.

In terms of direction, it's mostly bad. There was some decent desert photography and one or two slightly impressive long takes, but that's it. The best thing about this movie is that it ends.
