Starring Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy, Theodore Melfi's "St. Vincent" has been able to claw its way onto the Netflix Top 10 movie list. The film is a classic odd-couple comedy, with Murray playing the titular Vincent, a character described by IMDb as a "misanthropic, bawdy, hedonistic war veteran," and Jaeden Martell playing young outcast Oliver, who lives next door to Vincent with his mother, played by McCarthy. Naomi Watts and Terrence Howard also star, but it's ultimately Murray who steals the show.
Simon Crook of Empire Magazine called "St. Vincent" one of the actor's "finest, funniest, meatiest performance since 'Lost In Translation.'" In the movie, Murray's Vincent forms a bond with his adolescent neighbor, which culminates in Oliver trying to make Vincent an official saint in the eyes of his school as part of a class project.
Thanks to Netflix, people who might have missed "St. Vincent" the first time around can still enjoy it now all these years later. "St. Vincent is an underrated Bill Murray movie," wrote Twitter user @OhioBIkeLawyer. "Watched the movie on Netflix last nite," replied @MarianneCorbett. "Loved it."
