Comic star, Bill Murray, is at his wildest as America's leading "Gonzo" journalist, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the legendary underground reporter whose passion for writing was second only to his love of weird chemicals, alcohol, violence and insanity. Along with best friend (Peter Boyle), Murray offers a manic look back at the Sixties and Seventies as an eyewitness to everything from a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial to a one-on-one bathroom interview with then Presidential candidate Richard Nixon. This off-the-wall comedy also boasts a musical score by rock superstar Neil Young.

Critics Consensus: Bill Murray delivers a noteworthy portrayal of Hunter S. Thompson, but Where the Buffalo Roam strains to get through its rambling narrative.

Eddie Harrison

as a showcase for Murray, and as an advert for drugs, its persuasive stuff.

Hunter S. Thompson earned an "executive consultant" credit on the picture, but, like others involved with the troubled production, he was ultimately disgusted and disappointed with the end result.

While [Bill] Murray is more than likable in his role, he isn't able to capture the larger-than-life figure he set out to inhabit.

An interesting and savage little piece.
