Bill Murray in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" gives us that perfect summertime, late night film. Murray stars as a bumbling, clueless American who pops into London unexpected and uninvited so his Master of the Universe brother can celebrate his birthday. Trouble is the brother and his wife are entertaining visitors from Germany for a business presentation and Murray can't fit in. His brother has to make him disappear for the evening. Which leads to the complex plot. Given a ticket for a live, interactive, TV show without walls (or a specific locale), Murray stumbles into a plot by a top British spymaster and his Soviet counterpart to pull off a midnight assassination of two ambassadors, thus wrecking a treaty ending the Cold War (and their lucrative, paranoia-tinged careers). Believing he's in a very big show, and with - of course - suitable and gorgeous female assistance he hits a lot of London (sometimes literally). A little dated, I'm not so sure we wouldn't welcome some of the uncertainties and stresses of the Cold War for the unfolding enigma of international relations today. Hey, I shouldn't get serious and neither does Murray as he blunders about dispatching assassins and bystanders with ease. This is a very physical comedy, Murray's forte. There isn't a serious idea in the script and the outcome is as predictable as May drizzle in London. But my kid couldn't stop laughing and that's good enough for me.Vollständige Rezension lesen
My personal favorite Bill Murray movie. All the characters in this movie are engaging... but Murray puts a smile on your face throughout. Would recommend this very funny movie to everyone.

If you are a Bill Murray fan, you will like this movie. The casting is pretty good also. If you liked Mr.Bean in Johnny English or even Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, you'll probably like this as well. This is a spy spoof that seems somewhat clever at times but is essentially silly. Murray has once again nailed the bumbling spy role. He is great as the American buffoon who innocently stumbles upon a reality show that gets him into all sorts of trouble as a wanna-be British spy. This is reality tv before reality tv became cool (well, supposedly anyway). I found the characters somewhat campy and the humour cheesy, which means that the script has to be laden with jokes in order to maintain the attention of the audience. While the jokes are far and few in between, this light-hearted comedy might prove a bit amusing when given the once-through but it's not worth purchasing. For those who are looking for a family movie, this one has enough subservient innuendo that would not make it viewable for families. It is silly fare for those looking for a relaxing chuckle or two.Vollständige Rezension lesen
One of my favorite Bill Murray Films. This movie kept us in stitch and shows off the genius of Bill Murray, he is perfectly hilarious and was made for this part. Had to buy it to keep in my top 100 collection. It just as funny the second time. Rates a 10 for me.

I had seen this movie quite a while back but remembered it was very funny. Have watched it over and over even funnier than I recalled. Thank you! Best car chase ever!

This movie was overlooked when it came out, and it is a shame. This really is an engaging and funny movie. Bill Murray is his usual entertaining self. I highly recommend it. It is worth finding it and giving it a view.

When Bill Murray unexpectedly at his brothers home in England to celebrate his birthday, his brother signs him up for a role play adventure to get him out of his hair. Of course he stumbles into a real life cloak and dagger adventure and accidentally triumphs over evil agents and corrupt government officials to foil a plot to assassinate a foreign dignitary. Full of laughs and with plenty of twists and turns.

It's an old movie (1997) and is slow to get going. But once it does, it is a load of fun.There's some signs of studio tampering. Bill Murray's co-star Joanne Whalley doesn't have much to do - I think a few of her scenes were cut. But overall it's a lot of fun and for $5 or so, you can't beat the price.

As always Bill Murry is knee slapping funny. Playing a the dimwitted brother visiting his brother in London for his birthday leads to all kinds of mishaps.
