Count me in as another woman who loves this movie. I think it’s hilarious.
I just watched the movie for the first time - I’m not a big Bill Murray fan, I guess - and while it was enjoyable and expertly done, it was also so thoroughly manipulative that it wound up turning me off. My wife hasn’t seen it, so I don’t have a data point for her.
Search ain’t working for me. There was a thread in which posters discussed exactly how many days Bill Murry actually lived through.
Can anyone else find it? Does anybody really know how many days Bill lived through and I know he had to redeem himself somehow in order to break the cycle, but what were the exact criteria?
Well doing this blind (I haven’t heard the commentary and haven’t watched it in awhile)
he had to help the towns people just because he could (proving he wasn’t doing it for any sort of a reward just to be nice)
he had to grow up a little (realize death was part of life)
and he had to impress the girl in a non-manipulative way (ie not tell her about all his special knowledge and have her come to him)
It’s the thread Fern Forest linked to (in an incorrect way). Fixed link
Heh, heh, heh.
Murray’s performance in this is startlingly good. Is he better in Lost in Translation or is this a case of people not understanding that comedy is not just pie-throwing?
I’ve seen it described as a “man’s movie” before as well. My wife doesn’t really care for it.
Really? I’m very surprised by that. Can you expand on that a little? What do they mean by a “man’s movie”?
