I really dig the character Bill Murray has morphed into the past several years, especially the way Wes Anderson has used him in his last few films. So I went into Broken Flowers with high expectations. Unfortunately, I found it to be much more this than this.
I'm a big fan of movies with not a lot of plot and very few 'splosions, but this flick draaaaaaaaags entirely too much. It's my understanding that Jarmusch has used sparse dialogue to great effect in previous efforts (I'll admit I'm in arrears on his catalog), however, here it's just boring. There are some very funny parts, especially the frames with Sharon Stone, and the score is top notch. Overall, a very under-whelming experience though. You can safely wait for the DVD.
