An extremely irritating film, chock-a-block with repugnant, banal characters. Yet another film that centers around a multi-character obsession with a plain-Jane woman with no particularly interesting or compelling personality features. The script is meandering, and too self-aware of its attempts to be witty and stylistically unique. Bill Murray is the sole saving grace of the film, and his misadventures with his asinine sons are little treasures buried within the script but, otherwise, the film's cult appeal utterly escapes me. Sometimes, in the attempt to make something fresh and different from the typical Hollywood crap, all you end up creating is a newly fresh and different form of crap...
