Laura (Rashida Jones) thinks she’s happily hitched, but when her husband Dean (Marlon Wayans) starts logging late hours at the office with a new co-worker, Laura begins to fear the worst. She turns to the one man she suspects may have insight: her charming, impulsive father Felix (Bill Murray), who insists they investigate the situation. As the two begin prowling New York at night, careening from uptown parties to downtown hotspots, they discover at the heart of their journey lies their own relationship. (A24)

I've come to accept that Sofia Coppola loves her dialogue-heavy films, often about not much of anything, really. Maybe it’s because I’m not a New Yorker, but some of the conversations and opinions in her films just don’t resonate with me. That being said, On the Rocks had a saving grace in Rashida Jones. Sure, I probably wouldn’t have much to chat about with her character, but spending an hour and a half watching her was pretty enjoyable.
