Movie #1752 "Quick Change" is a Bill Murray movie that I had never seen, so when I got a copy of it in my hands, I wanted to see it almost immediately, and I was not disappointed. It got 80% of the critics liking it on rotten tomatoes, which is very high for a comedy. But, I think you have to like the slow pace and glib humor of Bill Murray to enjoy the rest of the film. But have no fear, Randy Quaid does all the histrionics to keep the viewer awake, and Geena Davis plays a fine girlfriend of Bill Murray who is questioning his change in character since he started robbing banks. Yep, it's a caper, but m,osst of the film is what follows the caper, and in that way, it resembles "the Out of Towners" --- it makes fun of NYC and the film is full of smaller parts for a group of very funny actors who have made it big since the 90's film like Stanley Tucci, Tony Shaloub, Philip Bosco , Phil Hartman & Jason Robards, just to name a few. The film also offers a couple of surprises along its way, so I recommend it to Bill Murray fans! I give it 4 stars out of 5.
"QUICK CHANGE" 89 minutes 1990 rated R
In this semi-tart valentine to the uniqueness of New York City, Bill Murray (disguised as a clown), Geena Davis and Randy Quaid concoct the perfect bank robbery plan. The only thing that gets in the way is the city in which they operate: They can't for the life of them make a clean getaway. Philip Bosco, Jason Robards, Stanley Tucci and Phil Hartman co-star in this underrated comedy directed by Murray and Howard Franklin.
