Watch Quick Change For Free

A different way of telling a story

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Deserves to be rated higher. Well written and executed. Much, much better than any 21st century comedy movie. In my opinion Murray's best performance. With great, funny roles of Davis, Quaid, Shalhoub, Tucci and Hartman, this is one of the funniest comedies ever.

Grimm has devised an ingenious plan to escape New York, the city he hates so much.Dressed as a clown, he robs a bank and escapes disguised as a hostage along with his accomplices, girlfriend Phyllis and best friend Loomis. However, whilst robbing the bank was easy, the getaway turns into a nightmare, as the relatively simple act of getting to the airport to catch a flight becomes an q ordeal of obstructions.Confused road-workers, con-men, mobsters, bus-drivers and a cabbie who doesn't speak a word of English, are all thrown into the mix.....It's another case of a long forgotten film, it opened here in the UK back in 1991, I remember it played for about a week, and since then has virtually vanished without a trace. To my knowledge, it has never been aired on British terrestrial TV.And it's really difficult to see why. Its a really funny movie, and its one of Murray's best performances of the nineties, but that's understandable swing as he produced, co- directed, and co-wrote the whole thing, but he doesn't hog all the best lines, Quaid and Davis are equally as good as his accomplices.But the situations are downright funny, and thankfully, they are not too over the top, in fact a couple are everyday annoyances that we all come across, it's just that the characterisation and the writing make them that more funnier.But the film hasn't aged well, its one of those early nineties movies that was still stuck in the late eighties, all the bank workers thought they were Gordon Gekko, and those mobile phones, huge!!!But its all about the writing and performances, and to honest, they are all class.Its a shame Murray hasn't directed more stuff, because he has a wonderful talent.

After committing a bank robbery, three crooks only need to get to the airport to escape. But, problem after problem ensues, sending them on a trek around the city by car, cab, bus, and foot to try to get there.The best part is easily the work of cinematographer Michael Chapman, who also shot "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" in the city. He clearly has a great idea on how to shoot in the town.The hijinks are pretty straight forward, but the funniest moments are the asides provided by Bill Murray as he's confronted by the crazy cast of characters!A pleasant, fast-paced hour-and-a-half romp.******* (7 Out of 10 Stars)

Bill Murray stars and directs in this inoffensive, lightweight black comedy about a band of would-be bank robbers caught in the middle of a rapidly unfurling master plan. The plot is typically loose, silly and predictable, a narrow-sighted exercise on the same level as Mr. Mom or Stir Crazy, but still manages to slip in a few biting observations about the period's culture... most of which are validated by Murray's deliciously sardonic delivery. Costars Geena Davis and Randy Quaid are often just along for the ride, though, delivering bad lines with all the subtlety of a brick to the face, and nobody ever seems to take their predicament terribly seriously. Practically bad but inexplicably charming, like many of its genre-mates from the late '80s, it's good for a few shockingly large laughs but wilts under closer examination.
