Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a struggling single woman, moves to Brooklyn with her 12-year-old son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Having to work very long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of Vincent (Bill Murray), a bawdy misanthrope next door. Vincent takes Oliver along on his trips to the race track, strip club and dive bar, and an unlikely friendship is born. The man is a mentor to the boy in his hedonistic way, and Oliver sees the good in Vincent that no one else can.

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.

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

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.

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 4/5

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

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 3/4

Really disappointed in this movie, had high hopes. It followed a very predictable narrative with a cliché, unrealistic happy ending. A few funny moments with Bill Murray, it’s a good family movie.

This was hands down one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Very cute story line as well as a twist of comedy and drama. The little boy Oliver was such a smart boy this is definitely a movie I would watch time and time again.

I'm being generous giving it a two, but there was some good acting in it. It's a sloppy movie with a poor message.
