The screenplay and Murray's acting are the hallmarks of this film, as you rightly pointed out.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-29452658009309190322011-11-07T18:26:36.484+05:302011-11-07T18:26:36.484+05:30Yes, one of the great contemporary comedies, and a...Yes, one of the great contemporary comedies, and an unqualified triumph for Bill Murray, whose greatest film this may well be. I agree it's as much a drama as it is a comedy, and there are profound life lessons to be taken for one of the greatest of all screenplays. <br /><br />This is one of your truly great capsules pieces!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-67442797378621210582011-11-05T14:11:26.659+05:302011-11-05T14:11:26.659+05:30Thanks buddy.

As for Murray, his transformation as well as his relation & interactions with Andie MacDowell's character have been quite beautifully captured. A touching film indeed.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-42839436347339478102011-11-05T13:46:35.721+05:302011-11-05T13:46:35.721+05:30Hi Shubajit, I am not able to put this movie in an...Hi Shubajit, I am not able to put this movie in any of the genre like drama, science fiction or comedy. Its such a fantastic movie that touches the heart of viewer. The conversion of Bill Murray from cynic to a humble man was well depicted. loved this film... thanks for reminding !Yayaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567482260999422784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-40626178490553565972011-11-04T23:43:22.007+05:302011-11-04T23:43:22.007+05:30Thanks a lot Jon.

Yes, completely agree with you, this was my second viewing of the film and I liked it even more than when I'd watched it for the first time a few years back. As I mentioned in my review, it sure is one of those rare life-affirming films that never seem corny or preachy - that's in my opinion remains the director's biggest achievement. Murray is just fantastic in it. And yeah, Andie MacDowell indeed looks pretty cute :) Thanks my friend for sharing your enthusiasm for this film.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-72991140195052333202011-11-04T23:12:54.527+05:302011-11-04T23:12:54.527+05:30Shubhajit, wonderful piece and a magical, hilariou...Shubhajit, wonderful piece and a magical, hilarious film. This is one of Bill Murray's crowning achievements, the others being Rushmore and Lost in Translation. This film to me gets even better with age, a sort of play on a type of scenario not completely apart from something like It's a Wonderful Life. It has that "life lesson" at its heart and a masterful performance. I also really like Andie McDowell in this film. She's so cute!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.com
