I thought about seeing this for the people involved... but I just don't think it looks all that interesting.

Doesn't look that bad. But 8%. Damn.
Barry Levinson just can't make a good movie anymore I guess. It's a shame.

I like Bill Murray, but this film has massive box office bomb written all over it. I can't imagine the trailer appealing to very much of the general public.
Go see Steve Jobs instead of this bullshit.

that RT rating is bumming me out, I was really looking forward to this, I'm always game for anything Bill Murray does. (minus the new Ghostbusters)

Good cast but yeah doesn't look that great. Might watch it when it hits one of the premium channels or video on demand.

Ok so by no means is this a great movie, but Murray elevates the material and there are a handful of gut busting laughs. The script is a bit of a trainwreck though. Because of some great comedic moments, I'm gonna say 7/10.

From Box Office Guru:
Outside of the top ten, two new releases opening in over 2,000 theaters each crashed and burned generating some of the worst results of all-time for wide debuts. The Bill Murray pic Rock The Kasbah bowed to an estimated $1.5M from 2,012 locations for a pathetic $750 average for Open Road. Meanwhile, Universal's Jem and the Holograms did worse with an estimated $1.3M from 2,413 sites for a disastrous $547 average. Critics and paying audiences gave thumbs in a downward direction to each one.
