St. Vincent is pretty much what the previews made it out to be. Bill Murray plays Vincent, a crass old man that takes a boy under his wing. Vincent is an ass to everyone except those he cares about, but the movie does reveal as it goes along that there is more to him than meets the eye. Murray is at his comedic roots in this film and it is probably the best he’s been in a long time. The movie also features funny actors Melissa McCarthy and Chris O’Dowd. Personally I didn’t find it as funny as I’d hoped. It produced a lot of chuckles but no “belly laughs” and ultimately will probably be a fairly forgettable film. Not one that I’d recommend rushing to see in the theater, but worthy of a redbox rental in a month.
