Synopsis

Watch: On the Rocks 2020 123movies, Full Movie Online – All it took was one long, passionate, late-night kiss on the lips to make novelist and mother-of-two Laura suspicious of her career-driven, high-reaching husband, Dean. Now, as the uncomfortable feelings of doubt and mistrust start creeping up on her, fanned by the horrible idea that the love of her life may be cheating on her, Laura reluctantly enlists the help of the impeccably dressed, semi-retired art dealer, Felix: her suave, mischievous, and effortlessly charming philanderer father. But, even though it is sometimes exhausting, we all want to be loved, and amid a persistent writer’s block, Felix’s innocent flirts with random women, Martini-fuelled lunches, and high-speed car chases in Manhattan’s neon-lit streets, Laura needs to know. Is her life falling apart?.
Plot: Faced with sudden doubts about her marriage, a young New York mother teams up with her larger-than-life playboy father to tail her husband.

Before jumping into the movie itself, I need to offer my appreciation for Sofia Coppola’s career so far. With such a renowned filmmaker as a father (Francis Ford Coppola, the famous director behind the classic The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, and much more), Sofia was able to create a distinct career, avoiding condescending comparisons with her father’s success. Most people in her situation would crumble to the pressure and succumb to a total failure. Fortunately, Sofia started showing her own unique talent early by delivering one of the best rom-coms of the 2000s, Lost in Translation (only her second feature film). Therefore, I was actually pretty interested in the simple premise of On the Rocks.

This latest installment in Sofia’s filmography continues one of her trademark characteristics: a light movie that addresses not-that-light themes. The main narrative follows the answer to a binary question: is Laura’s (Rashida Jones) husband, Dean (Marlon Wayans), having an affair? The two possible outcomes don’t allow the film to carry any impactful surprises regarding this storyline, but Sofia writes a screenplay filled with astonishingly captivating character interactions, mostly between Laura and her father, Felix (Bill Murray). The movie’s beginning focuses on demonstrating Laura’s day-to-day basis, developing this character in an exceptionally smooth manner.

These first minutes without Felix in the picture establish Laura’s mental state perfectly. Her feelings, thoughts, doubts, everything is shared with the viewer either through clean exposition or subtle expressions from the remarkable Rashida Jones, who delivers a nuanced, extremely rich performance. Then, enter the phenomenal Bill Murray. Felix is a charming yet complicated old man who can’t be around a woman without hitting on her or stating dumb things like, “I think I’m getting deaf to women’s voices”. His relationship with her daughter seems quite close to the point of Laura trusting his crazy conspiracy theories based on exaggerated facts.

Here lies my number one issue with the film. Until the third act, I could describe On the Rocks in one word: real. Every scene, conversation, or action is displayed in such a realistic way that I struggle to find a single sequence that didn’t need to be in the movie. At the end of each scene, the viewer always learns something new, whether about a character, an event, or merely a detail of someone’s life. However, the last half-an-hour takes the main characters (father and daughter, to be clear) through a path that crosses the line of common sense and makes me doubt if Laura would truly do such a thing, based on what the film showed of her personality until then.

Nevertheless, that’s not the problem. The real issue is the revelation that comes with this final act that raises a few questions concerning the father-daughter connection. I can’t get into spoilers, but Sofia develops Felix as a fun, entertaining, not-to-be-taken-seriously old guy who makes a few too many jokes that maybe he shouldn’t. However, after discovering a certain part of his life and how it affected his family, I partially lost empathy. The revelation is probably the only slightly surprising aspect of the movie, not because it’s shocking (the film clearly points in that direction), but due to the viewer’s focus being on finding out if Dean is cheating on Laura.

This new development makes me question how Laura can be so close to her father without ever showing on-screen how she dealt with this situation, especially at the very end where the subject matter is brought back into her life. Don’t be mistaken by this extensive explanation, I still enjoyed the movie! I can’t deny the impact of this negative issue, but it’s far from destroying the film. It’s beautifully produced, with every technical aspect complementing each other. Sofia controls both the pacing and the tone of the movie in a flawless fashion.

Still, Rashida Jones and Bill Murray steal the spotlight. Both deliver outstanding performances, carrying the dialogues effortlessly and fully embracing their characters’ personas. Marlon Wayans is also pretty good, even though he doesn’t have that much screentime. With a short runtime, the premise gets surprisingly more captivating than what I thought it was going to be. I felt significantly invested in the process of finding out the answer to the big question, and despite the partially disappointing third act, this storyline is brilliantly executed.

In the end, On the Rocks is yet another success for A24 and Apple TV+. Sofia Coppola continues her already remarkable, distinct career with another film defined by one of her trademark attributes. A serious subject depicted through a lighter perspective, possessing fascinating character interactions, and a premise that ends up being a lot more engaging (yet still somewhat predictable and formulaic) than what’s expected from it. Rashida Jones and Bill Murray are genuinely impressive, sharing palpable chemistry, ultimately carrying the whole narrative on their shoulders. It doesn’t feel like a movie. It feels like a real story with real people… at least until the third act, where an over-the-top, hard-to-accept sequence leads to a revelation that questions the father-daughter bond, as well as the rushed resolution of such declaration. I still recommend it as a weekend’s evening pick due to its short runtime and overall enjoyable story.

Rating: B-

Review By: MSB

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I wanted so much more than the product we ended up with here. While I enjoyed ‘On The Rocks’, I can’t push myself past saying it was simply cute and sweet – and while it bolstered my love of Bill Murray just a little further, for Rashida Jones it just made me shrug.

Review By: SWITCH.
Lost since “Translation.”
Once upon a time there was a little girl with a famous dad who made a decent film with very big movie stars that name droppers and sycophants praised to the heavens. Daddy after all was being ballyhooed for the overlong and execrable GF 3 so why not the kid? Did the US finally have its answer for Leni Riefenstahl? Nope. Seventeen years later the well budgeted banal filmography says otherwise as she returns to the crutch (Bill Murray) that started the rumor around her “talent.” It’s a sorry full circle with Murray continuing the career deadpan unabated and Rashida Jones ably subbing for Scarlett in auteur Coppola’s ongoing investigation into the older male, younger female dynamic. Murray does his aging best to keep things buoyant but as in previous works (Somewhere being the best example) Sofia’s tedious buzz killer deadpan ambience brings on the disinterest in no time and the girl that would be Leni is once again minor Nora Ephron without the funny bone.
