On the Rocks is a delight. Read full review

On the Rocks is perhaps more conventional and modest than Coppola’s other films, but it’s no less entertaining or profound. Read full review

Coppola pours sweet foam over a bitter cup. The heart of the film is darkness, the exterior exuberance, and taken together they make for piquant viewing. Read full review

On the Rocks is light-hearted and, ultimately, more a story about a girl and her father. The good and the bad of that parental legacy and the task of disentangling from it forms the subtext of On the Rocks. Read full review

Coppola sends us on a light, frothy father/daughter adventure, to be sure, but one suffused with the tiny tragedies of misogyny, and the excuses men make for their selfish behavior. Even the sweetest dishes need a little salt to bring out its complexities, and On the Rocks is no exception. Read full review

On the Rocks isn’t Coppola’s most momentous film — it’s a little too frothy, all crackle and no pop — but its near lackadaisical tone and a delightful Murray performance make it an entertaining watch. It goes down like a smooth glass of wine, with perhaps a little bit of tartness. Read full review

Things happen in On the Rocks, but the caper-flick high jinks viewers expect to ensue never come to full, cockeyed fruition. Read full review

Such a great light and entertaining movie. Happiness with Bill Murray is in the small things, and this movie is no different. Interesting story line, fun conversation set in New York. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie.

This is one of the most honest comedy of all the time, so I think, that's why the people doesn't like so much this movie, but for my was great.

It may feel like minor work, but still a movie with the power of Bill Murray, Rashida Jones, Sofia Coppola, and A24, and the journey was well worth the time.

Rashida Jones plays a New York mom who begins to suspect that her work-obsessed hubby (Marlon Wayans) is cheating. Her father (Murray) plants the seeds of suspicion and helps her discover the truth. The story and interactions are mildly interesting, even though there’s little modification in the pace or energy. The performances are fine, but it’s mostly Murphy’s showcase. He plays very much to type as a charming, eccentric, off-center womanizer. I’ve never been a big admirer of his style, so there wasn’t much else to recommend this most pedestrian of Coppola’s films.… Expand

The story is too simple, and therefore too shallow. The only reason that I have completely finished this film is Bill Murray. Of course he's good again, but that's actually too little.

"Lost in directing" and "Lost in New York", a film that tastes like an autobiopic on Coppola's vacuous flat existence, even devoid of any Allenian wriggle. Scary miscasting.
