St. Vincent

Vincent MacKenna, a drunken, gambling war veteran retiree, who drives a Chrysler Lebaron gets recruited by his new single-mom neighbor Maggie to watch over her 12-year-old son Oliver. Vincent's ideas of after-school activities involve visits to racetracks and strip clubs, but eventually the mismatched pair begin to help each other mature.

Critic Reviews:

• " 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. " – Sandra Hall

• " There's a notable and welcome depth to the players that is unexpected from this assemblage and premise. " – Mike Massie

• " The kind of film that makes you smile even when you know exactly what's going to happen. " – Richard Propes
