Pros: Interesting story line-pacing was interesting
Cons: the guy next to me was the king of slobs
I have been consumed by my new job as a custom decorator and thus have not written as much as I would have liked in the past. The movie Broken Flowers has in effect drawn me out of a state of cloistered hiding- so to speak. Bill Murray ii the main ...

by trust12345 - Top 1000, Aug 28 '05
Pros: Murray, Wright, wan aesthetic, deadpan comedy, music, the pulchritudinous women.
Cons: A bit slight; chilly despite efforts to move.
Bill Murray has been doing the melancholic, aging or over-the-hill surrogate and reluctant father in search of a possible fatherless son/daughter thing, very well of late. Witness him in Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation (2003), Wes ...

Pros: scenery, auxillary actors

Pros: Bill Murray's excellent performance; strong support from Jeffrey Wright, Frances Conroy, and Sharon Stone
Cons: Finale may be too ambiguous; too many sequences of Murray sitting about communicating nothing
"Animals can tell us what they want," a character observes in Jim Jarmusch's new film BROKEN FLOWERS, "but that doesn't mean it's what's best for them." Whether the animal in question is an observant cat or the aging Don Juan (Bill Murray) at the ...

by quidrock , Sep 03 '05
Pros: All of the women's cameos, Winston, the successful detached depressive character that Murray/Jarmusch create.
Cons: Script was a little weak, ending is strained.
Quote from Don Johnston (Bill Murray) "The past is gone, the future is not yet, so this is it."....of course, it illustrates what Jim Jarmusch is trying to convey with this film. Jarmusch's movie is startling and bold, in a somnolent ...

by MARIEROY - Top 500, Jan 13 '06
Pros: Reflect life's reality at its best
Cons: Slow moving at first, requires some patience.
I just completed writing a book on dating after a certain age, namely for those 50 and beyond. I recently rented this DVD, not having a clue as to what it was about except for what was given in the blurb. I have always enjoyed Bill Murray films. Yet, ...

by videodude , Sep 26 '05
Pros: Okay performances, subtle humor
Cons: Slow moving, not much going on, abrupt ending
Broken Flowers is certainly not the movie for me, but after seeing it, I must say that I quite frankly, thought it sucked. Even a fellow moviegoer, a guy in his early sixties asked me what I thought, although I was still trying to group together my ...

by durlingheath , Jan 24 '06
Pros: Full of allegory, irony, and metaphor.
Cons: Story and moral are a little esoteric; Bill Murray's performance is ordinary.
The postal carrier drops a stack of mail, including a curious pink envelope, through the mail slot in the front door just as Don Johnston’s (Bill Murray) girlfriend is moving out. Later, Don, an aging, lonely, and confirmed bachelor who has made a ...

Pros: Great cast! Anything less and the movie would have flopped
Cons: Writers try too hard to be funny, VERY POOR editing
I went to see "Broken Flowers" because I am a huge Bill Murray fan. And I am always up for a good rollicking comedy. My mom and I made this one a Labor Day weekend matinee. which is good. We both agreed that the movie was OK, but we could have saved ...

by gobrilla , Mar 22 '06
Pros: Some excellent and funny cinematography and some pretty good acting.
Cons: In serious need of an editor, a bunch of long, pointless boring scenes strung together
Broken Flowers Bill Murray makes and breaks this semi-comedy-mystery. The story follows a lonely Don Johnston (Murray) as he attempts to find the mother of a son he may or may not have fathered nearly twenty years ago. The trip takes him to visit ...
