Bill Murray made his film debut with this silly but lovable flick about a bank heist gone awry. I like how early on, Murray kindly points the gun at the cop and smoothly says "I wouldn't...and that's Mr. Bozo," and later has to prove that he's robbing the bank. His demands during the holdup are also quite a hoot. But once he and accomplices Geena Davis and Randy Quaid leave the bank, leaving New York proves to be a challenge.
OK, so maybe "Quick Change" looks lame - perhaps even idiotic - now that Murray has starred in movies like "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Lost in Translation". But you can't treat it like that, people! The point is to laugh. And you certainly will. It just goes to show that Murray does best when he's himself (but don't get me wrong; his serious roles have also been good). A really cool movie. Also starring Jason Robards, Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci and Kurtwood Smith (Red Foreman on "That '70s Show").
