The Man Who Knew Too Little?

How is this movie? I noticed it stars Bill Murray, and it looks pretty good.

Is it a funny film though?

thanks in advance

No, it is not funny, it is hilerious. I really liked this film, I had it on VHS first, and then upgraded to the DVD. If you like Bill Murray, you will like this one. There are all sorts of pranks, and fun mix-ups.

It's a surprisingly good disc for such a little known movie. Definitely worth a look for Bill Murray fans. I like him best when he's playing a wise guy (I hate What About Bob?), but thought this was a lot of fun & was happy to pick it up as a Columbia House fulfillment title.

I think it's a good movie that a whole family can enjoy. It seems like the kind of movie HBO would've played the heck out of when I was a kid - the type I would've watched about 30 times by the time I was 9 (if it had been made back then).

The DVD has a director commentary (by the guy who did The Singing Detective), a really good commercial where Bill offers to refund ticket prices if you don't like the movie, & even taunts me with the trailer for Quick Change, a movie I'd LOVE to have on DVD...

Harmless fun I guess, but far from Bill's best. Would make a good fulfillment title at Columbia House with its low SRP and nice disc.

It's a snoozer. Not funny at all. If you're suffering from insomnia, rent this cheap.
