SnoopyStyle Wallace Ritchie (Bill Murray) flies from Des Moines, Iowa to London on his birthday to surprise his brother James (Peter Gallagher). James can't have Wallace in an important business dinner. James set him up with an improv group which places the participant in a realistic crime drama. However it goes all wrong when Wallace answer the payphone used by the improv group but it turns out to be a man hiring hit-man Spencer to kill call girl Lori (Joanne Whalley). The real Spencer answers the call from the improv group and kills one of the actors. Wallace goes along with the intrigue thinking all the while that it's make-believe.This is fun for about 30 minutes. Bill Murray is irreverent and stupid. However the one-joke movie gets a bit boring. It becomes rather repetitive and rambling.

tgchan www.tgchan.pl 21 minutes have passed and it is already good xDHilarious misunderstanding and I already can't wait to see more! Bill Murray has a natural charm in, such as these roles! It is a decent movie but there is no wow and oh moments in it, it just keep its pace without any greater ups and downs. I expected a little more from it... I don't think I would enjoy it, if it wasn't for Bill Murray. It wasn't bad... but it wasn't good either... There are lot of other better films out there. If you truly don't have anything better to watch or you merely desire to see Bill Murray go for it, if not... look for something else.tgchan's rating 5.5 /10

Rabbit-Reviews The Man Who Knew Too Little is a movie based on a book by Robert Farrar, and it's one of those timeless comedies with phenomenal script and even better acting. I must say that Bill Murray was hilarious in this one, and this is one of his best comedic roles. The script is very original and unique, giving the director and actors enough material to create a comedy that has several layers and can be viewed as classical slapstick but also an intelligent comedy. Combining a serious spy plot with a hapless and accident-prone "secret agent" is something that now is quite popular, but back in 1997 was a genre less explored. Toying with the cold war, and stereotypes common for James Bond movies Farrar creates even more comedy, and a perfect example is Boris The Butcher, played masterfully by Alfred Mollina.Wallace Ritchie is a manager at a Blockbuster video store in America, and he has come to England to visit his businessman brother James. But this is a wrong time for a visit since James is expecting an important business partner at his house so he offers Ritchie a ticket to "Theater Of Life" a new kind of show where a viewer participates along with the actors in a show. All too happy, Ritchie accepts the offer, not knowing that soon he will be involved in a spy war of immense proportions. Thinking that this is still a show and that everything is supposed to happen like that Ritchie plays along, as he tries to save the world in his world and in real world...Check out my review site Rabbit-Reviews for movies that are worth watching, Rabbit out...

newmanarts-1 The Man Who Knew Too Little has everything possible, not least Bill Murray. If you're a fan of Bill Murray this is the best! If you are a fan of British humour especially 1940s through 1960s, you'll love this one. If not you'll want to watch them after this seeing this one. The Man Who Knew Too Little rides the rail between spoofing and actually being part of that genre. A good movie is even better the second and third time, and this one does not fail that test. Bill and Joanne are great, the bonus is everyone else, especially watch for Alfred Molina as Boris!If you do like the feel of this movie and aren't familiar with the genre then you'll want to watch those old English drama-comedies like The Lavender Hill Mob, 1951,(the same director wrote and directed A Fish Called Wanda.) The Ladykillers, (that's the 1955 version. (Sorry Tom Hanks!)) and the Man In The White Suit were both directed by Alexander Mackendrick, same classic feel. In fact you'll find a gold mine in all those Alec Guinness films! Peter Sellers' Pink Panther series doesn't hurt as well, it fits quite nicely.For those who like their whiskey and movies humoured over peat then Whiskey Galore A.K.A.Tight Little Island is an early gem.
