Leave your thoughts about Quick Change.
| FlavorwireJason BaileyPlenty 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. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenFranklin and Murray manages to live up to the demands of a thriller without sacrificing character to frenetic pacing, and the film exudes a kind of sweetness that never threatens to become either sticky or synthetic. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe 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. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrQuick Change unfolds cleverly, keeping the audience in the dark on the robbery plot throughout the film's opening reel. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertQuick Change is a funny but not an inspired comedy. It has two directors - Howard Franklin and Bill Murray - and I wonder if that has anything to do with its inability to be more than just efficiently entertaining. |
| House Next DoorOdie HendersonQuick Change requires a leap of faith from the audience. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonDespite the fact that Change lags and lopes along toward an inevitable, trite conclusion, it also leaves itself wide open for funny moments. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA funny, quirky and engaging very NYC dark comedy. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperBy 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. |
| EmpirePhilip ThomasEnjoyable nonsense with a superb enemble cast. Pure entertainment. |
