Despite its lovely interludes of Murray exploring New York City, I didn’t feel as if this movie successfully transferred itself from a play into a film. The parts from the play and the parts added for the movie seemed glaringly obvious and the editing was a bit of a disaster for me – highlighting the changes rather than blending them in. However, I still really enjoyed the film – the script is funny, clever and engaging. The performances are all solidly good, Robards and the kid playing Nick especially. In the end, however, the film left me wishing I could have seen them perform it on stage rather than the movie.
