This film is a loose collection of cameo pieces that are, on their own, pretty funny, in an understated way. But the jokes are discursive and weak, and the film lacks a general direction to build up momentum. A very distant, impersonal film, where audience identification is laughingly discouraged.
Thanks to good editing and undeservedly great cinematography, however, the narrative is never a drag, and the 120+ minutes of pointless fun seems to just zip by. But since the film is far from engrossing, and there is little demand on viewer's attention, one feels no urgency to complete it any time soon. So if you have a party at home, and people have to get up from the couch to get a beer, or pass water, or simply go to the bedroom next door to make love, and then come back picking up the film where they leave off...... YES, this is the perfect party movie.
Oscar & Lucinda，Notes on a Scandal，Charlotte Gray，Heaven⋯⋯品味过十几部Cate Blanchett的片子，从没怀疑过她诠释角色的才能和挑选剧本的慧眼。也是因为她了解到这部片子。
至于Bill Murray，纵然不一定是荧幕上的救世英雄，但也实在对他屡屡塑造的窝囊知识份子形象不感冒。特别是Lost in Translation，没看进去，就难免觉得片子自恋，越是觉得自恋就越是不买账。他和Scarlet Johanson这对不讨我欢喜的配对加速了这个恶性循环。对他印象最深的，还是Coffee & Cigarette——毕竟还有Tom Waits，White Strips这样的跨界大名。在不严格意义上，这片子也算是他和Cate的第一次“合作”。于是想，这次两人正面交锋，Cate一贯的女强人形象应该能够激发出他别样的素质。
影片可算是半戏中戏，讲述以Bill Murray为首的水中生物研究兼纪录片创作团队的又一次冒险之旅。上一部纪录片“滑铁卢”为整部影片定下了有些哀怨的基调，寻找鲨鱼为死去好友报仇的这一次旅程是整个影片的基石。久而重逢的儿子、情史丰富的恋人、亦敌亦友的记者以及各有所思的团队成员
