3 out of 5 stars.
On the Rocks is a fair comedy drama film that has a charming cast but lacks in laughs, humor, and a direction to make this comedy drama worth watching.
The plot follows Laura (Rashida Jones) who suspects that her husband is having an affair with a coworker. After being distant, discovering another womans belongings in his travel case, and how close he is with his workers. Her father Felix (Bill Murray) and her try to do a stake out. Hoping to catch him on the act. Until they follow him to a business trip in Mexico. Which her and her estranged father catch up with what they missed out on life.
The plot is decent. About a father and daughter relationship which has disappeared through the years. Which they catch up on while trying to catch her husband in the act. The script is flat with its drama. Also lacking in humor and laughs.
The film is saved by a wonderful cast. Rashida Jones is lovable and charming with her performance as a mother who is suffering from a writers block. Bill Murray is also charming as her father. Who tries to be that wisecracking attitude. Marlon Wayans is also good as her husband who barely has time with his family cause of his business.
It is a drama that is entertaining but very forgettable.
