...I found it clever, ironic, mostly entertaining and at times even humerous. You kind of have to sit back, relax and just let it wash over you without expecting too much. I think you have to appreciate Bill Murray and his sense of humor first. Then it helps to have seen a Jacques Cousteau special or two in their day. The film's not for everybody. And some films acheive their effect more successfully on the big screen (where there are fewer distractions to upset the mood) than video.
