Broken Flowers (DVD review)

Broken Flowers (2005) starring Bill Murray and an interesting supporting cast. Murray plays Don Johnston, a middle-aged man who retired early after making a fortune "in computers." On the day his girlfriend leaves him, he gets a mysterious letter telling him he may have a 19-year-old son whom he has never met. The movie is about his exploration of his past, through the women he thinks could be the kid's mother. In the process he takes a road trip and goes back to meet these old flames. The disappointment at the end of the film is that the mystery of the son is left unanswered, and thus the point of the movie becomes the journey, not the destination. Some viewers will find this satisfying, while others will be frustrated. Grade: B
