St. Vincent

Sweet, sweet dramedy we have here.  Some cool charming moments and some dramatic ones.  Bill Murray does his usual mean sarcastic awesome performance except he has a Brooklyn/Irish accent in this one.  And speaking of accents, I was bothered with Naomi Watts's Russian accent. That was one of the few things I didn't like about this movie.  I wasn't into it at first but after 30 minutes in or so, it picked up for me.  Awesome story about a "father figure" teaching some things about life to a young boy.  This "father figure" is one drunken jobless cold son of a bitch but somehow he is recognized as a saint to a pair of young eyes.  That's not a spoiler, after all, the movie is called St. Vincent.   Love the soundtrack too.  
Good recommendation if you're in the mood for a dramedy.  If you can get past Naomi's accent, you'll enjoy it a lot more.
