Reviews for Quick Change
[Murray's] glancing, genial sarcasm buoys the action for the first half-hour. Then this caper comedy sinks into a puddle of urban rancor.
Neither ambitious nor particularly memorable, but it's brought off with a sly flair that makes it most enjoyable.
There is not much in Quick Change that hasn't been anticipated by Neil Simon and beaten to death by countless imitators. Mr. Murray's film is at the worn-out end of this bloodline.
Bill Murray dresses up as a clown to take hostages and rob a New York bank. Funny? Guess again.
Despite the fact that Change lags and lopes along toward an inevitable, trite conclusion, it also leaves itself wide open for funny moments.
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.
