Broken Flowers

Bill Murray continued his study of disillusioned men in dire need of jump-starts with this story of an aging ladies man on a road trip to visit four former flames. He would seem to have found the perfect pairing in director Jim Jarmusch, whose stone-faced comedies share with Murray what can only be called an exhausted wit. Squeezing each situation for maximum drollness, he and Murray do what they do best, even if their specialty is starting to feel like spinning wheels.
