This is the third movie directed by Sofia Coppola that I've seen and it only confirms for me that she has absolutely no talent in that area.
Like her "Marie Antoinette", it's boring as I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing did. For one thing, there's not much of a plot. The story is such that one could go away for a while, paint a wall or two or play a round of golf, come back, and one hasn't missed anything.
Bill Murray shows that he's not much of a dramatic actor, as if "The Razor's Edge" didn't already demonstrate that, but, then, he doesn't have much to work with.
Scarlett Johansson doesn't do much, either, and I kept expecting her character to throw a tantrum because she's about as bored and aimless as the viewer is made to feel. The husband in the film doesn't seem to care about her, making me wonder why those two characters bothered getting married as they seem to be heading for divorce court.
I first watched it on commercial TV and it didn't impress me. More than 15 years later, it hasn't improved. It's so bad that anything by Ed Wood is like Shakespeare in comparison.
