There is something deeply entertaining about Bill Murray's latest movie, the Barry Levinson-directed Rock the Kasbah. However, there is also something deeply unsettling about it.
Things start off well enough, with Murray's character, Richie Lanz, a music manager with alleged past success taking one of his few remaining singers, Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel), on a USO tour of Afghanistan. There are promises of money, promises of a return to glory for Richie, promises of a brighter road ahead. It all comes crashing down though when Ronnie freaks out and bails, taking Richie's money and passport with her.
Everything to that point, including a wonderfully funny opening scene with Richie auditioning a singer, and much of what follows is quite funny. Murray isn't stretching himself, but is offering the sort of character audiences love to see him portray. He is down on his luck, rude, an outsider, and relatively convinced of his own greatness.
