Quick Change Reviews
The concept behind Quick Change is not very high, but it is quite entertaining in its variety. [Full review in Spanish]

...agreeable (and periodically hilarious)...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 13, 2021
Bill Murray (who co-directed) is at his best, and Geena Davis and Randy Quaid match him. Consistently one of the funniest films ever made.

While audiences had no problem watching Bill Murray in the army, at a summer camp, on a golf course, or in a library busting ghosts, they apparently drew the line at watching him in clown makeup.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 30, 2021
A funny, quirky and engaging very NYC dark comedy.
| Original Score: B | Sep 18, 2017
Plenty of '80s comedies would've just ridden the clown-robbing-a-bank premise for 90 minutes. Instead, 'Quick Change' tosses off its twist twenty minutes in, discovering that the real achievement is not knocking off a bank, but getting out of New York.

Smarter, even more literate, than it needs to be.
| Original Score: A | Dec 29, 2015
Quick Change requires a leap of faith from the audience.

Easily a top-five career highlight for Bill Murray, Quick Change is a comedy jewel, squeezing a rare amount of mileage out of its fickle star, who appears atypically invested in the picture's mechanics.
| Original Score: A- | Jul 16, 2010
The movie has a comfy, lived-in feel; it doesn't beat you over the head for laughs, or take its horrors-of-New York theme too seriously. Smile and enjoy.

[Murray's] glancing, genial sarcasm buoys the action for the first half-hour. Then this caper comedy sinks into a puddle of urban rancor.
| Oct 5, 2008
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 5, 2008
Neither ambitious nor particularly memorable, but it's brought off with a sly flair that makes it most enjoyable.
| Oct 5, 2008
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.

Funny fluff featuring clowns, a bank robbery, and Bill Murray.

Not likely to set the world alight, but a neat and engaging little comedy of bad manners.

Inventively sinister, endlessly hilarious dark comedy.
