Critics Consensus

On the Rocks isn't as potent as its top-shelf ingredients might suggest, but the end result still goes down easy -- and offers high proof of Bill Murray's finely aged charm.

This is by far the warmest and most engaging film we have seen from Sofia Coppola, whose films have always made great use of spaces and silences.

[The characters live] quite a privileged existence, but one that's quite a pleasure to watch.

There are worse sins than allowing a director to coast smoothly through her favourite moves.

There’s hijinks, there’s fun moments, and it’s Bill Murray. He’s always funny and charming in this.

Coppola keeps matters light, but the humour here has a sharp and icy edge throughout.

Rated: 4/5

Coppola knows how to frame Murray so that his tired, fed up look gets the best lighting, and a low energy car chase is actually quite enjoyable

This is the kind of film that has all the right elements yet fails. The dialogue is predictable and the message a bit dated now. It's also a bit sad that Coppola went down the road of cliches with both the father and the daughter. And the romantic pair not only lack any chemistry they also don't really pull off being parents. Technically, it's a really good film, but I just didn't believe any part of it or feel anything from the performances. In general Coppola's films are cerebral and detached, yet still evocative. Not in this film, and half the time Murray looks as though he is just phoning it in, which may just be due to his age I'm not sure, but he doesn't sell it.

I loved Lost in Translation but this was a real disappointment. No humour or drama to speak of, dull script and pacing with little charm despite featuring Bill Murray. Nothing much to say about marriage or relationships. A wasted opportunity.

Uninteresting. Predictable. This film suffers from a weak plot. Not even the great Bill Murray could save the day on this one. Having said that, it isn't horrible or anything. It just isn't very good. Sofia Coppola can obviously do much better. I don't recommend. 71/100
