Broken Flowers

Broken Flowers: Bill Murray stars in this Dramedy about a man who finds out he had a son 19 years ago, but is not sure who the mother is. Still a bachelor, Don (Murray) receives this news from an unmarked letter. Through some careful thought he knows it can only be one of 5 women. He sets out across the country and shows up at these women’s houses looking for clues if they are the mother of his child. The highlights of the film takes place in these funny Bill Murray moments – He orchestrates the audience as we wait for his reactions for a laugh. The film takes on a more series tone toward the end and this is where I felt it dropped the ball. Maybe I wanted too much, but I felt this came up short…..

  1. Very strange story as the man doesn't aware of the mother of his son.It include good work by the director but still failed to make an impact on the audience.
