There are a number of things that upset the usual winning Sophia Coppola formula here. To start with, it's a little too much in love with Bill Murray, and then race, class and wealth are treated as ambient factors in the film rather than as topics to be approached, as they typically are in her films, obliquely and unapologetically. What results is a bit of nothingburger.
[New York City] is virtually unrecognizable, denuded of people and human energy; Laura and Felix make their way through streets that are suspiciously empty, and into the kind of too-pretty upper class redoubts that recall the surface gloss of Woody Allen, but none of his acute observational wit.

Synopsis: 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.
