Todd F A funny, quirky and engaging very NYC dark comedy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Wayne K The comedy stylings of Bill Murray might not be to everyone’s taste, and I don’t think his involvement in Quick Change, where he stars, directs, produces and (allegedly) had a hand in writing the script, likely won’t change your mind. It’s full of his witty comebacks and deadpan reactions to ludicrous situations, and he plays well off his co-stars Geena Davis & Randy Quaid. It’s an often fun but frequently frustrating film where the farcical elements are not enough to override the nonsensical plot elements. The film has the classic plot device of a ticking clock, but there’s no consistency with it, and its never made clear when the time will run out. Quaid plays such an inept idiot that almost ruins the leads plans several times, but there’s no reaction to it, as if it doesn’t even matter. In a situation that does have stakes and consequences, these are completely forgotten whenever schtick needs to happen. Some scenes are fast and punchy while others are laboured and strain for laughs, and I couldn’t help thinking that this may have had something to do with the fact that Murray and screenwriter Franklin co-directed the film. I could most charitably describe it as solid but forgettable; decent but unremarkable. Aside from what I can imagine was a fair amount of improvising on Murray’s part, the jokes are mostly substandard and even awkward at times. I enjoyed many parts of it, but there’s numerous other Murray comedies I’d rather watch instead.

Quotable too, very well written. The cast is top notch, Murray and Quaid are exactly what you expect from these two. Geena Davis, perfect fit in this film. This is a go to for me and my friends and we quote it all of the time. Most of you probably haven't heard of or seen this film but you should. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Films On Blast F dark and hilarious. a deeply disturbing movie that holds the mirror up to humanity. BM is the best. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Nancy S Truly a big laugh out loud movie, I roared. I think being from Long Island, NY and dealing with traffic, especially in Queens and NYC helped heighten the laughs. Great performances all around, from leads to minor parts. Well written, including intelligent slapstick in parts. It's a fun, fun movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
