Critics Consensus

St. Vincent offers the considerable pleasure of seeing Bill Murray back in funny form, but drifts into dangerously sentimental territory along the way.

Melfi, an astute director, sets a very eccentric and consistently endearing tone that is reminiscent of the quirky spirit of Silver Linings Playbook.

A lovely little movie with a lot of laughs and a good heart - and a warning signal for a direction Murray's career could take, if he's not careful.

4/5

It's a cliche, but cliches go on existing only because they go on being refreshed, and Bill Murray and friends bring this one back to life with deadpan flair and a vigilant eye for any disfiguring taint of sentimentality.

4/5

“St. Vincent” is extremely sentimental and conveniently sweet to the point of cinematic syrup, but so what. Thanks to Bill Murray, it all becomes worth it.

It does offer a handful of intriguing characters whose lives draw us in for better or for worse.

3/4

An endearing if sappy feel-gooder made pleasant by the affable presence of Bill Murray.

So glad I watched this. Had no idea Bill was capable of a role like this, though to be fair I haven’t seen Lost in Translation or Life Aquatic. I am about to watch both now. He was terrific and showed great range. Must have been a strong year for acting I think he should’ve gotten a nod for this.

This movie might have been even considered "great" back in 2014. But from a current perspective it's a bit plain and naive. And the values and the way we treat and raise children have significantly shifted since then, obviously.

Murray plays a middle aged curmudgeon for the umpteenth time, the kid is wise beyond his years and the movie is a mix of the sentimental and unlikely. Maybe the most surprising thing about the movie is Naomi Watts playing against type and getting most of the laughs. Unfortunately the final act wallows in the sentimental and cliche. Pretty average.

Bill Murray is great, per usual. The movie strikes a nice balance of being funny without being too precious about its heartfelt moments. The humor and poignancy coexist smoothly. Great performances all around.
