Funny, bittersweet, its understatement yielding surprising depth charges, Broken Flowers is a triumph of close observation and telling details.

... Broken Flowers, coming from a postcode of its own, doesn't quite deliver.

The ending is sublime, a set piece that almost makes up for the overwhelming slightness of it all.

The film is slight, not especially malicious. Murray is entertaining to watch, even when, or perhaps especially when, he does not have a great deal to do.
