After being dumped again, Don (Bill Murray) finds out that
he might have a teenage son. His wannabe-detective neighbour, Winston (Jeffrey
Wright), sends him off on a journey that will see him revisit 5 of his old
girlfriends to try and find out which of them is the mother of his child.
Don seems to just be coasting along, he doesn’t get
passionate about anything. Even when Sherry (Julie Delpy) is leaving him, he
doesn’t fight for the relationship or even really seem to care all that much
that she’s going. When he goes to visit his old girlfriends it is obviously
awkward and he doesn’t seem to know what to say or how to act around them. They
haven’t seen each other in 20 years, it must be difficult when faced with
someone from your past like that. I wonder how it feels.
Anyway, I was thoroughly bored throughout the entire film. I
understand that it’s not supposed to be some high drama thing and it’s just
about loneliness and whatnot but god, it was just so dull.
