Hyde Park on Hudson

— Bill Murray’s been in some pretty good films, but “Hyde Park on Hudson” isn’t one of his best. The set-up had promise and Laura Linney’s presence should have helped, but it was hard to know if this was a comedy or a drama gone awry. It was still somewhat enjoyable and interesting enough to make me wonder where fact was lost to fiction, but it’s a good thing there’s not much in theaters where I live or I would have been disappointed to have chosen this film over something a little more focused.
