This, from Will Leitch from The Concourse:

Rock The Kasbah Might Be Bill Murray’s Worst Movie Ever

Ouch.

Read the article.  It offers its very strong opinion and backs it up with plenty of facts.

As I said in the header, I thought the trailer for the film (there are several and the one below looks like the one I recall originally seeing) made it look like the movie could be funny but after reading this review, it sounds like its nothing short of a train wreck.

And, by the way, not only does it have a strong cast, Barry Levinson directed it.  While he’s certainly had his ups and downs, he’s made some very strong films.

Over at RottenTomatoes.com, Rock the Kasbah thus far is suffering the same critical fate, though there aren’t enough critical reactions for the folks behind the site to offer a definitive overview.  Still, of the 25 critics thus far weighing in, the film has a miserable 8% approval.

We’re still early regarding critical/audience reaction and the ratings may change but it would appear this might be a case where the trailer is funnier than the movie it is trying to sell…
