Bill Murray showing a 12-year-old the wonders of strip clubs, race tracks and pregnant showgirls wouldn’t be surprising as a headline, given Murray’s irrevocable sarcasm and general strangeness. However, it’s simply the premise for St. Vincent, a black comedy/drama by first-time writer/director Ted Melfi. Australia’s sweetheart Naomi Watts joins the fold alongside Melissa McCarthy and Jaeden Lieberher to uncover a heartwarming relationship between young and old. When Oliver (Lieberher) is left in the care of Vincent, played by Murray, the misunderstood elder takes the youngster along on all the stops that make up his daily routine, helping him become a man in the process – for better or worse.
St. Vincent opens in cinemas on Thursday December 26, and we’ve got ten in-season double passes to give away. To be in the running, head to the comments below and tell us what lesson you’d want Bill Murray to teach you.
