‘On the Rocks’
Bill Murray and Rashida Jones play father and daughter in On the Rocks, Sofia Coppola’s newest comedy. When Laura (Jones) suspects that her husband Dean (Marlon Wayans) is having an affair, she frantically asks for her wild father Felix’s (Murray) advice. Instead of passing along his two cents, Felix spirals into private investigator-mode. The pair traipse around New York City — gossiping over a few martinis along the way — trying to figure out Laura’s life. Murray and Jones have delightfully endearing chemistry, loaded with wisecracking humor and deep conversations. Coppola’s realistic directing style also nails a dazzling portrait of NYC. On the Rocks is a light, relaxing comedy to enjoy with drink in hand.
