On The Rocks

POSITIVES…

  • Surprisingly pleasant plot premise that kept my attention throughout.

  • Rashida Jones is excellent, and is the emotional core of this, that it’s so easy to get invested with her story.

  • As expected, Bill Murray is amazing, and gives this movie a huge boost of energy whenever he is on screen.

  • The chemistry and plot relationship between the two leads is fantastic, and is the main reason to see this film.

  • There’s a whole section of the movie involving an Alfa Romeo that is easily one of the big highlights.

  • I was quite satisfied with how this story concluded.

  • Thematically has an interesting and fascinating look on philandering and marriage.

  • It may be cliche to say this, but the setting of New York is like it’s own character in this film.

NEGATIVES…

  • Moves at a deliberately casual pace, which might not be exciting enough for some people.

  • Has a tendency to meander at times.

  • There’s a whole “rich privilege” vibe with Bill Murray’s character, that may seem fun to watch at first, but shortly kinda annoyed me eventually.
