Broken Flowers (2005)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412019. Bill Murray bachelor a who retired after having made his money in "computers " gets a letter from unknown ex-girlfriend that he has a son who is coming to look for him. Before the said son can find him he goes on a search for the potential mother. He meets four exes, who have decreasing levels of affection for him --- the first he has sex with (after ignoring her teenage daughter called Lolita (really) who appears before him in the buff) deteriorating to getting hit by the biker friend of the fourth. And he returns, without him or us finding out who the mother is. And the movie ends soon thereafter, without him or us finding out who the son is.

It is a comedy but in a strange weird way. Like the the tween next to him in a plane that has a toy horse that neighs rather loudly. I couldn't stop laughing at Bill's reaction to that, but I don't know why that was so funny.

6/10
