If I were to make a list of the worst movies Bill Murray has been in, this movie would make the list. Bill Murray plays an aged Don Juan who finds out that he may have a son he doesn't know about. When his current girlfriend dumps him, he reluctantly decides to track down some of his former girlfriends. He encounters one awkward reunion after another, with the intent to find out who might be the mother.
Although this movie kept my interest, there is little if no pay out in the end. It is very short on laughs, if any. It is really hard to come up with any redeeming qualities for this film. I'm told the director (Jim Jarmusch) tries to tell the tale about a man's choices in life and how he learns to live with them, but who cares? It is hard to feel sorry for Don; he is independently wealthy with an uncanny knack with the ladies. Sure he has trouble forming long-term relationships. But maybe if he stopped checking out every young girl that comes his way, he would not have this problem.
There are a lot of other stars in this (Sharon Stone and Jessica Lange to name a few), but they contribute little to an already poorly written film. I cannot believe this movie did so well at the Cannes Film Festival!
