    ★★

    The general premise is a lot of fun, but that’s where my affections for this movie end. Oh, that and the absolute BANGER of a soundtrack. 

    Otherwise this is full of plot holes, misogynistic as hell, and lazy in its storytelling detail, pacing, and basically devoid of any real character change or nuance. 

    Bill Murray’s character is an absolute D O U C H E B A G and it’s awful to realize that he is normalized and even loved…

    About half the narrative info here was conveyed through cartoonish dialogue, and the other half was never conveyed at all!
