The world would probably be a better place if everyone was a bit more like Bill Murray. This somewhat biographical account of the actor and comedian chronicles the spontaneity with which he shows up unexpectedly in various places and lends an aura of disbelief and mystique to the proceedings. Quite honestly, I had never heard of this side of the Murray persona, so for this viewer, the semi-documentary was quite revealing. Not one to flaunt his celebrity, the picture shows Murray showing up at bars, home parties and baseball games with an unplanned agenda of having fun with an assemblage of complete strangers, causing the onlookers to gape in astonishment and awe. Never self conscious, Murray would just as soon start washing the kitchen dishes as dancing the night away in some out of the way night club. The picture itself is comprised of a lot of what looks like compiled cell phone video footage, and as such, doesn't have the polished look of a professionally made documentary, but it feels right in keeping with Murray's off the cuff personality and demeanor. It's pointed out in the picture that one of the regular themes occurring in many of his movies is the idea that no matter what might happen, 'it just doesn't matter'. You probably couldn't say that about all the folks affected by his unplanned appearances, as having Bill Murray show up in person at your place is bound to create a long and lasting impression.
