This film was an outstanding picture. The brilliant performance from comedic genius Bill Murray. The film dose a great job at balancing the comedy with some of the serious tones of the film. This film is a triumph.

Rated PG - 13 : Strong language, thematic material  Alcohol &Tobacco use and  Sexual content

Bill Murray : Murray delivers one of his best performances that he's ever done. In this film his acting really shines through with how he mixed his comedic jokes with the serious elements of the film and  with his character. Bill has done a lot of comedies over his career Meatballs, Ghostbusters and more but I think he shines brightest when the spotlight is on him when he's in more dramatic roles. He shows more emotion then laugher and we get to see Bill's strong acting abilities and how he can make you laugh cheer or cry with his great emotional skills to. What's great about seeing him in dramas is that he will be hilarious one moment then serious in seconds which is great we get to see different layers of emotions from him which is what he delivers in this film. The chemistry he had with his Co-stars Melissa, Naomi Jaeden. It all felt so real when he was onscreen with them which made it more convincing. This performance Bill gives is definitely Oscar worthy. Loved his performance.


 Jaeden Lieberher : Jaeden gives a very entertaining performance. He gave a fantastic performance for a young actor of his age the acting range Jaeden had onscreen was incredible. The emotion he shows in his character is my moms working really hard but I need someone to look up to and so he looks up to Bill Murray's character. The chemistry Bill&Jaeden shared together was great when their were in a Scene together they would be hilarious but also make your heart break with their dialogue and acting abilities. They were fantastic together Jaeden was great at showing emotion in his character he shows anger, happiness and sadness which is great we get to see different sides of Jaedens character and how Jaeden can captivate you with his great emotional abilities. I hope to see more work from Jaeden in the future Great performance.

Melissa  McCarthy : Melissa gave a fantastic performance. I'm all so used to seeing Melissa in comedy's The Heat, Identity Theif, Bridesmaids etc. So when I saw her in this film I was blown away with her acting range  and the character she chose to play I always wanted to see her in a drama film. And that's what she delivers in this film she plays the straight character and is more driven by emotion then laughter which is great cause we get to see her expand her acting and watch her more dramatic and serious side. She dose have some hilarious dialogue but it's mostly more dramatic. When she was onscreen she would express Anger  with Bill and then try to be optimistic with Jaedens character then she would cry cause she's trying her hardest to make her kid happy. So we get to see a different side of Melissa's acting which is fantastic. I hope to see her in more dramas like this in the future. Overall loved her performance.

Naomi Watts : She gave one of the best supporting performances I have seen this year. She had great comedic timing and also was great at showing her dramatic side in her character. The accent the film was fantastic you could see it was Naomi but her voice was so different it was great. I have seen Naomi in her Oscar nominated role the impossible so when I heard she was going to be in this picture I knew she was going to dazzle me with her performance and she did. The chemistry she had with her Co-stars  Bill, Melissa and Jaeden was great. The emotion she shows is that she's just trying to get through the day getting paid and trying to be happy. She showed that so well onscreen I loved her performance definitely Oscar Worthy.

Theodore Melfi : Theodore gave excellent direction on this picture! for a first time director to be working on a grand scale film like this with great actors like Bill, Melissa&Naomi. He got great performances out of his actors great locations for the film he got you to care for these wonderful  characters by the end of the film your crying and not all directors can do that. He had a great story great dialogue it had a serious tone but he knew when to lighten the scene up with hilarious comedy. Theodore did a fantastic job I hope to see more films of his in the future extraordinary direction Theodore.

The Lighting : It was great it had this kind of upbeat dramatic vibe to the picture when it was positive they would make it really bright then when it was more serious it would be darker. The lighting fit the tone of the film perfectly great job guys.

The Cinematography : From the beginning of the film to the end of the film they made you feel like you were with Bill when he was at the racetrack it felt like you were sitting beside him. I liked how they made you feel like you were with them through it all. Great job.

The Soundtrack : The music fit the film perfectly with great tracks such as Further On by Bronze Radio Return, Shelter from the storm by Bob. Dylan. The music will have you tapping your feet to the music. Defiantly worth downloading on iTunes.
