Reviews for The Man Who Knew Too Little
You have to be a Bill Murray fan, or in an especially generous mood, to find The Man Who Knew Too Little more than mildly amusing.
After a decade or so of lackluster, what-were-they-thinking? movies, Murray has finally come back to himself
Much of the film's success can be attributed to Murray, whose timing and goofball charm are as effective as ever.
