"It's a story of a character, played by Charlie Sheen, who gets dumped by his girlfriend, and he's trying to deal with it and come to understand it, in sort of a kaleidoscopic portrait of a guy deal with a breakup and reassessing his life," Coppola said.

Bill Murray also as a starring role in the film, along with Coppola's cousin, Jason Schwartzman.

Calling the movie "playful," Coppola said he had a great time making his latest picture.

"It was a blast, everyone was so supportive," he said. "I just feel so lucky that it all worked out."
