Good movie, great acting by all of them specially the little kid ( Jaeden Lieberher) who's life evolves around the main grown ups like Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts. He plays Melissa's son, whom struggling to make a living while after her divorce and is now fighting for full custody with x-husband for her child. Do not watch this movie expecting it to be a comedy, because it is not. Also, this is "completely" a Bill Murray movie.
He's role as "St. Vincent" is one of the best, if not his best since I have seen his movies and I have grown to like him more and more in my opinion, as he seems to have matured maybe within the last 5 years. (I was never a fan of movies like Ghostbusters, as popular as it was) the story takes Melissa and her kid (very smart and educated and was great in his timing with his lines) so while she is hard at work till all hours realizes has no one to take care of her kid, after hours, not even time to take him and pick him up from school.
Bill is a retired vet living alone and hooked in gambling, drinking, and of course playing the "ponies" with the hopes to hit the jackpot at one point.
 He doesn't care about the conditions of how things are within his house simply because he's just not organized and life has hit him hard and takes things one day at time. However, under all that "carelessness" lies his true responsible self while trying to maintain his wife at an "assistance care" facility and paying for it best he can and has been doing it for ten years or so, to make sure she gets the best possible care while suffering from dementia.
Melissa needs assistance with someone to take care of her kid while she's at work and he needs extra money to survive and keep up with his gambling, drinking ways and agrees to take of the boy after hours by charging her horrendous rates without her having no choice but to pay them.
Both Bill and the kid (Oliver) end up "developing a great friendship" even though at first he wasn't too crazy about kids, any kids.
Script was well written and the acting was great from each of the characters playing their respective roles. It is a story about life with a different point of view of life from "each and everyone" of them struggling through it while trying to make sense of it all. You'll smile at times, you will feel as if you have been living right among them as a shadow as the movie allows you to get close to the characters and you will feel sad at times and you will laugh at times.
There are great scenes when Bill is laying in his lounging chair in his back yard drinking beer and listening to his I-pod music while teaching the kid how to earn and learn responsibility when gives the kid a chore to complete which is hilarious as to what the chore ended up being! (it is vintage Bill Murray) which Melissa gets home while this is going on and was surprised to see.
There are no sex scenes, there are lots of life lessons letting you know how "everyone" in this world struggles one way or another on a day by day basis while at the same time caring for a love one that means lots to you, no matter how hard you go about doing it.
You also should be very satisfied with a great ending of this movie having to do how Oliver, in learning each day more and more about his new found friend Bill (neighbor) and the man's struggles that all thru his life appeared to not matter to anyone, even him, although he was a great human being and finally gets recognized for it, by who better than Oliver that to his (BILL) surprise, put tears in his eyes and it might just do the same to you, when you watch it. Enjoy it.

Well, this is a really good movie.
I mean the beginning was very confusing and it was hard to know what had happened. The ending was pretty predictable but I still watched it to the end. It got a little boring in the middle but overall the movie is great. Great scenerio, great music, great actors,.....great story, great movie. Watch it.

Not sure why a lot of people did like it.  This was a great movie.  Admittedly there was no one being drugged or waking up in unknown places, but the story line was good and the characters were true to form - funny.  Enjoyed watching every minute of it.

Just re-read the Stephen King story, then saw the movie.  Very good acting by everyone.  The movie faithfully follows the book, capturing the fear, anguish and suffering of the protagonist (like several of King's, a writer) and the revenge she exacts at the conclusion.

I think Tom Cruise makes this movie. The acting was phenomenal, there were a lot of very suspenseful scenes which were probably very true to life for what the real rebels went through. They were very brave for what they did. Anyways, great movie, go out and see it.

Great movie all together. The only thing I found to be wrong was Stanley Tucci's character. His character just seemed unnecessary and unrealistic. Other than that great movie, great plot, and great actors.

This was a good movie even though everyone probably knows the climax of the movie.  It was extremely well acted and the cinematic adventure was great.  There was a few unneeded lines but otherwise a feel good and happy movie to watch.  Enjoy!

Great performances by the entire cast.
Very honest look about a little understood niche of our society.  Robert Duvall was robbed of the best actor Oscar by Jack Nicholson basically playing himself.

I enjoy Clint Eastwood as both an actor and a director, and i was personally pleased with his film. The co-stars were definitely not as great, but Clint makes up for that. I also really liked the plot, and the roles of all the actors. The whole movie came together well, Clint's racy comments are both funny and somewhat predictable, but none the less awesome. There is even some good action scenes in the film. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good movie, or the big movie buff.

I have seen this flick countless times and never tire of it. Everyone is great in it. A lot of women can relate to Bridget's neurosis and diary
entries. (Hopefully not to her nicotine addiction.) The two romantic interests are well cast although I must admit Firth seems a bit too grumpy for me.

Almost unbelievable hardship
