A pleasant interval, all Murray and a yard wide.

The concept behind Quick Change is not very high, but it is quite entertaining in its variety. [Full review in Spanish]

Bill Murray (who co-directed) is at his best, and Geena Davis and Randy Quaid match him. Consistently one of the funniest films ever made.

While audiences had no problem watching Bill Murray in the army, at a summer camp, on a golf course, or in a library busting ghosts, they apparently drew the line at watching him in clown makeup.

A funny, quirky and engaging very NYC dark comedy.

Plenty of '80s comedies would've just ridden the clown-robbing-a-bank premise for 90 minutes. Instead, 'Quick Change' tosses off its twist twenty minutes in, discovering that the real achievement is not knocking off a bank, but getting out of New York.

Easily a top-five career highlight for Bill Murray, Quick Change is a comedy jewel, squeezing a rare amount of mileage out of its fickle star, who appears atypically invested in the picture's mechanics.

The movie has a comfy, lived-in feel; it doesn't beat you over the head for laughs, or take its horrors-of-New York theme too seriously. Smile and enjoy.

Neither ambitious nor particularly memorable, but it's brought off with a sly flair that makes it most enjoyable.

From the opening scenes with Murray dressed as a clown for the robbery and playing his cynical, wise-cracking card to great effect, to the trio pitting themselves against the whims of New York City, this is breathtaking and inventive stuff.

Not likely to set the world alight, but a neat and engaging little comedy of bad manners.
