Comedy. Drama “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 ...

	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[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"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] plays like the loose and tipsy self-portrait of a maturing filmmaker being visited by the ghost of her greatest success"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"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"	POS
United Kingdom	Stephen Whitty Screendaily	"A lightweight, but mostly sweet, treat – and a lovely reminder of when pictures could just be low-key amusements"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Not quite 'Lost in Translation', but still studded with magical moments (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Murray is entertaining (...) but its fundamental lack of substance lets it down (...) The movie isn’t on the rocks; it just timidly hugs the shore (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"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"	POS
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"Murray teams again with his 'Lost' director Sofia Coppola and together they make magic out of a seemingly simple premise (...) Hilarious and heartfelt."	POS
United Kingdom	Terri White Empire	"An eminently charming, gorgeous portrait of a daughter, wife and mother (...) Murray is infuriatingly, but resolutely endearing (...) And Jones is compelling (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"Soggy, sloppy and hugely disappointing (...) A film of two disparate halves that fails to fully service either one (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Bill Murray and Rashida Jones make a dynamic comic duo (...) 'On the Rocks' displays Coppola’s gift for light comedy"	POS
United States	Scout Tafoya rogerebert.com	"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)"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"In the pantheon of perfect Bill Murray roles, his smooth-talking character in the new comedy 'On The Rocks' ranks as one of the best (...) Funny and slyly emotional film from Coppola (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
