Jim Jarmusch wrote Broken Flowers for Bill Murray, whowe really like. Unfortunately, Broken Flowers isn't quite as good as we expected... I felt the movie dragged in the beginning, before the story started to unfold. When it did pick up the speed, it was much better.
Still, the story leaves lots of questions, maybe too many. I kind of wish it would've been more definite. Some will enjoy this to no end, I'm sure, but we're not in that group. Still, it was definitely better than average movie, even if Bill Murray's minimalistic acting wasn't as brilliant as it usually is.
Best part of the movie? The song at the opening texts. "There Is an End", by The Greenhornes and Holly Golightly. Very good!
