Review of St. Vincent

I decided to see this at the theater I worked at since I had already seen the ones I was planning on seeing. I did think the trailer looked funny, but otherwise it hadn't caught my attention with it's pretty much cliche premise. Naomi Watts does a great Russian accent. If this was the first movie I ever saw with her I would assume that it's her natural voice. There are some really cute moments throughout this. I loved the chemistry between Bill Murray and newcomer Jaeden Lieberher. I think this was an average movie, but it's definitely a top performance for Bill. It is cliche as expected, but it does have a deeper more emotional message than other films of this caliber. I have to admit that I teared up a bit at the end. This is definitely one of those kind of movies that teaches you to never judge a book by its cover.
