Quick Change was an awesome movie. Very funny and the bank robbery scene at the beginning is actually good enough to be in a great heist movie. I loved this one!

Every time I watch this movie it seems fresh and new. Such great humor and chemistry between the characters. Highly recommend this movie. Bill Murray at his best.

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.

Without question one of my all-time favorite comedies. Bill Murray, via this movie, Groundhog Day, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Scrooged, and his superb work on SNL, is one of the best comedic actors of all time. It's unfortunate that the film he got the most attention for was The Life Aquatic, which I didn't enjoy at all). This film allows him to show how great he really is. Murry, Davis and Quaid pull off a brilliant bank robbery, then need to get out of New York City, and this is where the fun begins. Stymied at every turn, the exit from the city turns into a comedy of errors made even better by the brilliant casting of Jason Robards as the detective on their tail and Tony Shalhoub as a cabbie who speaks no English. I have seen the movie a dozen times and still laugh throughout it. The scene in the grocery store and the mob scenes are classic. A hilarious movie for all to enjoy, although it does have some harsh language. If you enjoy this, watch Groundhog Day and Ruthless People as well.
