Reviews

xxxxxdarkmoon Its about a bank robbery. without a doubt one of the smartest and funniest movies i have ever seen. fantastic. all actors do an incredible job. it made me a fan of bill murray.

pkpera I watched this on TV some 25 years ago and remembered as good satire. Spotted this days and made good decision: let's watch it, if nothing else, to refresh memories. It was worth of every minute - no there were no slow, dragging parts, as some reviewers said here. Pace and timing are perfect.From beginning was obvious that this will caricaturing big City life situations, style. Exiting from metro was hilarious, as many other scenes. Is it one of the reasons for low rating here ? You will not see some recent comedy like this. I could call it 'Modest masterpiece' - nothing bombastic, plain storytelling, no forced jokes, really - and that self is great thing. If just movies like Postman or Heaven's Gate were made with same approach - doesn't matter is it comedy or whatever. And as I see, this is made by book, and is remake. But nobody of reviewers did read book, is seems. Too bad that good things are so often less known. This movie really deserves more publicity.

Prismark10 This may be a controversial statement but this is probably Bill Murray's best film and the one where he is certainly the most likable, because he never has really come across as a person who the audience sympathises with.Murray plays Grimm, dressed as a clown, robs a bank in Manhattan. He ingeniously sets up a hostage situation and then slips away with the loot and his accomplices, his cool girlfriend Phyllis is played by Geena Davis and his best friend, the buffoonish Loomis is played by Randy Quaid.The robbery itself is straightforward, it is the getaway that turns into a nightmare. They want to get to the airport to catch a flight out but it is complicated by the fact that fate, luck and all of New York City appears to be conspiring against their escape.Quick change is a mish mash of hostage drama/comedy and the more dark as well as slapstick getaway. Jason Robards plays the very veteran detective on their tale.The leads acquit themselves well and Murray who also co-directed really sells the film. Under-appreciated by its audience this really is a comedy classic.

nomoons11 It really is. I mean the whole plot premise is eat up with why they commit this robbery...to get outta New York!!!! The whole film is eat up with situations about how New York is noisy, inconvenient and just plain full of odd characters. Of course you throw in Bill Murray and you get one hilariously planned bank robbery gone "not so perfect".For me this film is for Americans who understand good quick 1 liners. Don't just pay attention to the scenes/scenario, listen to the dialogue carefully and pull out the great screen writing. Like Caddyshack and other American films that most Europeans love to hate, this is another one that just has that American sensibility about it...crazy and funny. Throw in a few cameos with Tony Shaloub and Phil Hartman and this is one film you just shouldn't miss.A+ fun all the way.
