Rock the Kasbah Reviews
You don't want to see Rock the Kasbah. If you do, you're reading the wrong newspaper.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2016
A dog's dinner of a movie which not even the usually reliable Bill Murray can raise above the level of confused, cliched claptrap.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 20, 2016
Barry Levinson's film, loosely inspired by the true story of reality 온라인카지노추천 show Afghan Star, comes at its subject matter from entirely the wrong direction.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2016
It's a strangely lacklustre film that's happy to plonk Murray in a vaguely interesting crisis situation -- in this case, war-torn Afghanistan -- and just hope for the best.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 18, 2016
Unfunny, and also casually offensive.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 18, 2016
On paper, this could have been excellent; as it stands, it's painful and futile for all involved.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 17, 2016
Rock the Kasbah feels likes the pathetic last wheezes of the Baby Boomer Entitlement Project (Bro Division).
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 17, 2016
Leaving aside the galloping misogyny, 'Rock the Kasbah' just isn't remotely funny or smart.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 14, 2016
The film's disregard for basic plot lucidity either stems from contempt for its audience, or from post-production decisions aimed at making something, anything, out of nothing
| Original Score: C- | Oct 24, 2015
As one-liner after one-liner misses its mark, you begin to feel sorry for Murray, who's really too old to be playing a guy who has a little daughter ... and likes to get kinky with Kate Hudson as a raucous, Dolly Parton-style hooker-businesswoman.

Not Murray's best and not Levinson's either.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 23, 2015
An acclaimed film director, a legendary comic actor, lots of fun rock and pop songs, and a noble story at its core can't save "Rock the Kasbah" from being one hugely misguided dud.
| Oct 22, 2015
The first half is pure pleasure as Murray gets thoroughly immersed and enmeshed in Kabul crazy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2015
A lot of the actor's usual mercurial charm isn't used to full effect and is actually tempered when it doesn't feel like it should be.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 22, 2015
Clichd, enervating, insulting - it's tough to settle on a single pejorative for "Rock the Kasbah," though abysmal might do.
| Oct 22, 2015
Some projects are just too misguided for the star to mug and shrug his way out of. Consider Rock the Kasbah at the top, or the bottom, of that list.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 22, 2015
An ongoing war is no setting for a musical comedy, especially one this glib and inane.
| Oct 22, 2015
Rock the Kasbah's timing is so slack, and its screenplay so shapeless, that the movie doesn't even rise to the level of an Afghan-war Stripes. It's almost as laugh-free as the latest news from Kunduz.
| Oct 22, 2015
Quite possibly [Murray's] worst movie ever.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 22, 2015
Rock the Kasbah, does not rock at all - not even a little bit.
