Vincent (Murray) is an aging Vietnam vet whose hedonistic lifestyle has left him bereft of money, friends and a future. When he is approached by his new next-door neighbour Maggie (McCarthy) who asks him to babysit her son Oliver (Lieberher), Vincent takes up the task in exchange for an hourly rate. However, to each of their surprise, both Vincent and Oliver develop a special friendship through which they help teach each other how to grow up in their own individual ways…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Bill Murray makes his return to the type of comedic roles people best associate him with in St. Vincent, a crowd-pleaser that should charm as well as make you roll about the aisles in laughter.
