OPENING FRIDAY
St. Vincent — Movie about a curmudgeon stars the singular Bill Murray at his grumpy best — his eyes in a perpetual roll, annoyed by anyone and everything, but somehow earning affection from those who annoy him. Retired and residing alone in a ramshackle house in Brooklyn, he indulges in booze and gambling — and pregnant stripper/prostitute Daka (Naomi Watts). Maggie, a newly single mom (a refreshingly sweet Melissa McCarthy,) and her 12-year-old son, Oliver (the appealing Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door. Vincent needs money, and soon he’s baby-sitting Oliver every afternoon. Oliver learns the ways of the world, Vincent-style. Written and directed by Theodore Melfi, who snagged Murray by first calling the actor’s 1-800 number. Rated PG-13, 102 minutes. — The Associated Press
