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.

Rated: 4/5

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

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

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

Rated: 3/5

On The Rocks is the movie equivalent of a perfect fall treat, warm and comforting. And very much worthy of your time.

I wanted to enjoy this film but it was simply terrible. I couldn’t even get through more than about 35 minutes of it; maybe some would say then I shouldn’t review it, but this fact only supports my stance of it being worse than unwatchable. Consider yourself warned.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I can’t believe I wasted three good scotches on this movie. Bill Murray is still king and Rashida Jones is still hot. However, all of this buildup and tension just to find out that the movie is about two good parents. This is absolutely baloney. So unsatisfied. Going to go watch Holes to get over this atrocity.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, colocam um mulher e o pai para falar como está a vida e o casamento e como de costume o filme da Sofia coppola termina na maneira normal, E sem nada de bom no filme.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Murray shamelessly steals every scene he's in and it's a delight to watch. This is a well heeled comidrama with a well trodden plot. The enjoyment is in the journey rather than a slightly head scratching ending.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
