From the opening scenes with Murray dressed as a clown for the robbery and playing his cynical, wise-cracking card to great effect, to the trio pitting themselves against the whims of New York City, this is breathtaking and inventive stuff.

Reviews for Quick Change
After piquing our curiosity, Murray and Franklin skillfully let us in on the scheme and slowly reveal the nature of the three characters at the center of it.
Amusing comedy with a great, subdued performance by Murray. Runs out of steam too soon, though.
A delightful romp that generously allows the unknowns who dot the large supporting cast to garner the biggest laughs.
Not likely to set the world alight, but a neat and engaging little comedy of bad manners.
Despite the fact that Change lags and lopes along toward an inevitable, trite conclusion, it also leaves itself wide open for funny moments.
By blurring the foreground characters and focusing on the background, New York City becomes the real main character of the film until the script falters near the end and Murray once again reclaims the audience's attention.
A randomly, raggedly funny look at the personal cost of being one with the hustling, clamorous crowd.
At least something works often enough that the movie announces Bill Murray is back and is funny again.
