ROCK THE KASBAH (2015) ** Bill Murray, Leem Lubany, Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Scott Caan, Danny McBride, Arian Moayad, Fahim Fazli, Jona Khan. Misfire comedy with our boy Bill as a has been rock promoter up to his eyeballs in international intrigue as he attempts to comeback with a new performer en route to Afghanistan and instead winds up stranded with little opportunity until unlikely Lubany enters the picture as a native who has a golden voice (and a quick meal ticket for the greasy Murray having some fun in the process). Scribe Mitch Glazer and director Barry Levinson half-bake for a M*A*S*H like vibe despite the efforts of a blue-chip cast largely wasted. Disappointing to say the least but hey Bill makes the most of it.
