A nemrég elvált Maggie és 12 éves fia, Olivér, a háborús veterán Vincent mellé költöznek. Már a bemutatkozás sem alakul problémamentesen, de a kisfiú egyik nap kizárja magát lakásból és kénytelen a barátságtalan szomszéd segítségét kérni, aki kénytelen beletörődni, hogy a fiúra neki kell vigyázni, amíg az anyja haza nem ér a munkából. Mivel Vincent szemmel láthatóan nyakig ül az adósságban és igen nagy szüksége van a pénzre, ezért Maggie felajánlja neki, hogy legyen Olivér bébiszittere és vigyázzon rá minden nap az iskola után. Vincent nem mondható egy szentéletű embernek, és ebből a rá bízott kisfiút sem hagyja ki: Olivérnek alkalma nyílik megismerkedni a szerencsejátékkal, az alkohollal, és férfi barátnőjével, egy orosz prostituálttal is.

Bill visszatért. És ismét nagyszerű. Olyan, mintha az Elveszett jelentés és a Hervadó virágok szereplőinek trilógiáját fejezné be. Bár az ő és a szomszédjai vagy az éjek asszonya története könnyed hangulatban telik, és maréknyi vicces epizódot is tartalmaz, szenved az eredetiség hiányától, az érzelgősségtől, és nincs benne semmi, ami miatt emlékezetes maradna. A sok komikus grimasz, a mentor/fiú húrra pengetés vagy Naomi különc kreációi orosz lotyóként kissé öncélúan hangzanak. [San Diego-i Filmfesztivál]

In recent times, I have been enjoying Bill Murray, who has finally stepped out of the box of an actor with one expression, who constantly plays the same characters and finally shows something. By the role of "Saint Vincent," he clearly played with great enthusiasm and the result is surprisingly good. Acting-wise, the film is strong, for example, Naomi Watts' Russian English is irresistible. A relaxed, pleasant film with a typical American ending, but we can overlook that.

As soon as I saw the poster, I said to myself, "This is going to be absolute nonsense." Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. It's not nonsense. The film got me and surprised me. Bill Murray is great here, and he plays a rather challenging role this time. I finally got a chance to see Melissa McCarthy in something where she can show that she is a capable actress. And in the end, there is also the excellent Naomi Watts, who is also different than what we are used to from her. And great child actors. I thoroughly enjoyed this with all the emotions that came with it.

Even though the ending is full of pathos, I didn’t mind it at all. All the while I was watching this movie, I felt such a kind heart from it that the ending put me into an incredibly wonderful mood. Bill Murray plays a grouch who has such great reasons to act the way he does that even had he never starred in another movie I’d always remember him with fondness thanks to this role. But the movie is not about him alone. It’s also about a little boy portrayed by Jaeden Lieberher, his mom, but also about the teacher who’s bringing faith into it, which would usually annoy me just a bit. But in this case, I don’t mind at all, because everything is so beautifully natural and sincere that it gave me the impression that this world can’t be so bad after all.

As much as the film scored points here and there, for its thorough study of what my old age will look like, by the end it managed to blow them all with its cunning elegance. These safe bets irritate me, and I still hate myself for them, for the way they show my lowliness by making me predictably amused just by Bill Murray being alcoholically cool and pissing off the whole street. Fortunately, St. Vincent is pretty poorly shot, has downright terrible editing (it looks like they switched to PG-13 at the last minute), and the ending is exactly so wrong and unfunny that the real Vincent would have thrown a shoe at the TV.
