The entire cast does a good job of making this run-of-the-mill drama entertaining. There's nothing even close to original about the story but Bill Murray makes it not matter. He's great. Melissa McCarthy plays it straight with Naomi Watts providing a lot of laughs, which is obviously the opposite of what you'd expect.

Oh I am so gonna miss Bill Murray when he is gone. But for now we can still enjoy his amazing performances on screen! I do wish Chris O'Dowd had some more screentime. I could possibly enjoy a whole movie about that teacher character.

A meaningless pretentious review no one will care about for a movie made more than seven years ago. X/Y

Decent. At about 18 minutes when an acoustic songs plays to the scene of the bullied kid I could see the simularity between this movie and About A Boy. Murray plays a role he's played before and he's good at it. The story itself is very predictable and slows down a bit as it goes for the heart strings rather than comedy.

This easily became a favorite of mine. The story is very moving. It really didn't go where I thought it was going to go, and I'm pretty much ok with that. Plus, Bill Murray is like comedy God.
