| Quick Change is Hilarious! (by kellyanderson65) |
| I just saw this recently and I'm surprised I've never heard much of it before. This movie is hilarious! I've liked most of Bill Murray's comedies but this one is maybe his very best. He is awesome and so is Geena Davis. Randy Quaid is hilarious as the slow-witted sidekick. I don't want to give away the plot but it involves a bank robbery and the attempted getaway. Bill Murray is at his sarcastic best in this movie so if you are a fan of his or of heist comedies in general I guarantee you will love this movie. Quick Change is one of the best comedies I have ever seen in my <more> |
| Murray road.... (by buzznzipp1995) |
| This film came post- What About Bob? I asked myself, now how will he top the off the brain-cuff comedy in What About Bob? Here is the answer!! Where there was serenity in the countryside, and the good Doctor played by Richard Dreyfus Down & Out in Beverly Hills now here is anything but, from the inner workings of the city of Gotham, New york. The busiest place on Earth practically speaking . Jason Robards is one of my favorite role players in this epic debacle of 'getaway'. He brings in the not so happy N.Y. detective that looks like he is going to have a heart-attack anytime <more> |
| Nearly perfect comedy. (by buckswope1) |
| Bill Murray is hysterical in this perfect little black comedy about a bank-robber trying to flee New York City. What makes the film work, at least for me, is that we never know much about Murray's character or Geena Davis or Randy Quaid , and that it takes place over a single summer day in Manhattan. The bank heist goes off without a hitch, but after a successful getaway, they become plagued by the maddening, ridiculous delays of New York City. Suddenly, every eccentric in New York City seems to be coming out of the woodwork, either slowing down or chasing after the three main characters <more> |
| A movie with Bill Murray doing what comes naturally, "being funny". (by ToldYaSo) |
| Not many people I've talked to have seen "Quick Change". It wasn't really a hit, which is what makes it such a nice surprise when you see a film like this which is very funny. Maybe that's partially why I enjoyed the film so much, as it makes me feel a little bit like a pirate who's discovered lost treasure, or like an explorer who's conquered uncharted territory.It may not be Bill Murray's best, but it's pretty good. But make no mistake, this is a Bill Murray movie, he even co-directed it, and if you don't like him in general, then this film <more> |
| Underrated Comedy Classic (by pmdawn) |
| This is one of the best comedies I've seen. Bill Murray not only stars but directs this one, and he should be damn proud of his accomplishment. This movie is a laugh-fest.You won't regret watching this one. The three main players are all in their apex. Murray is fantastic as usual and Randy Quaid is hysterical. Tony Shalhoub has a small but VERY memorable part.This is one of those rare, great, infinitely "quotable" movies. There's irony, sarcasm, slapstick, you can find all kinds of humor here, and even some suspense to keep things interesting. This is great to watch <more> |
| Don't miss out on this hilarious movie! (by ColdZro) |
| This movie is really great. It's got a great cast, a very funny story, and some clever writing. But it's been so ignored; and I can't understand why! I never see it on TV, and it's not available on DVD; it's hardly ever mentioned anywhere! Every time I go buy DVDs, I look for this one, hoping that maybe this time it'll be there. It hasn't been so far, and it's always a let-down. It's a tremendously funny movie, which I'd love to have in my collection! And if you like to laugh, then you'd be doing yourself a favor to pick this one up! Especially if <more> |
| Good Mix Of Clever and Silly Comedy (by ccthemovieman-1) |
| This is a clever and entertaining comedy that has some dramatic and romantic touches as well. It's almost two movies-in-one: a dramatic holdup and a comic getaway. The holdup scene does has comedy but is more dramatic. It reminded me of the '70s classic "Dog Day Afternoon" in which the hostages are kept by a couple of robbers and the crooks demand the normal assortment of getaway vehicles. Except in here, ringleader Bill Murray wants a "monster truck" along with everything else. You know with Murray you are going to get outrageous humor and satire.Anyway, the bulk <more> |
| Consistently funny for the most part, although the end sort of drags along... (by MovieAddict2016) |
| Funny remake starring Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid as down-on-their-luck thieves who rob a bank and then have a hard time getting out of NYC. Funny from beginning to end. Well, almost. The last twenty minutes or so seem to drag a bit. But I loved the first 3/4, and the opening sequence is tremendous!Bill Murray is very funny and Randy Quaid is a likable goofball. Geena Davis manages to impress but the real star is Murray, as always. All in all a pleasant way to spend an evening and certainly a memorable comedy--if a slightly uneven one.4/5 stars.John Ulmer |
| BOZO THE CLOWN WITH A TWIST (by brianlion) |
| I'm surprised "Quick Change" is not rated higher by the voters of IMDB because I found Bill Murray at his best. Some of his quips and retorts are great. My movie group found this a very funny movie. And what a great idea for robbing a bank. |
