Who you gonna call...when you need some comic relief? If your name is Wes Anderson you need deadpan or someone to play the part of a badger you call upon Bill Murray. Jim Jarmusch called upon Murray again this year, but its Murray's calorie-adding supporting voice-work as a real-estate agent that made me refer to him separately from his co-stars in the number 5 spot. There really isn't much to say except Anderson and Murray are two peas in a pod.

"Despite the one-dimensionality of its anti-patriarchal theme (appeasing the knee-jerk expectations of European film fest audiences), the Dardennes avoid cheapening the story with ideological smugness, achieving an emotional resonance without easy sentimentality."
"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
