Synopsis / Plot: “On the Rocks” star Murray opposite Rashida Jones in the story of a young mother who reconnects with her larger-than-life playboy father on an adventure through New York. In this comedy about aging, marriage, and the tenuous bond between parents and grown children, New York author and married mother-of-two Laura (Rashida Jones) has become suspicious that her career-driven husband (Marlon Wayans) may be having an affair with a coworker—a speculation encouraged by her caddish, bon vivant father (Bill Murray).

In Theaters and on Apple TV+ this October 2020.

Critics' reviews

"[A] warmly satisfying experience (...) Distinguished from those predecessors by its wry female point of view, Sofia Coppola's smart, breezy comedy (...) stars Bill Murray in peerless deadpan form"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] plays like the loose and tipsy self-portrait of a maturing filmmaker being visited by the ghost of her greatest success"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"A boozy humanistic hang-out caper movie, one that’s light-spirited and compelling, mordantly alive to the ins and outs of marriage, and a winning showcase for Murray’s aging-like-fine-whisky brand of world-weary deviltry"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"The comic engine that powers this movie is ultimately its star’s merry-prankster persona. You see in Felix the deadpan anarchic streak that has made Murray a force in American comedy for decades"

Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
"Bill Murray and Rashida Jones make a dynamic comic duo (...) 'On the Rocks' displays Coppola’s gift for light comedy"

Alonso Duralde: The Wrap
"I don’t usually come to Coppola for tidiness, for adorable antics, for a quick look inside the guts of the American cinema and its place on the world stage, but On the Rocks is all that and more. (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Scout Tafoya: rogerebert.com
"A lightweight, but mostly sweet, treat – and a lovely reminder of when pictures could just be low-key amusements"
