"Bill Murray and Randy Quaid. Geena Davis is a welcome costar. It's very New York to me and the local characters involved were fun to watch. Recommended. "

"This is a decent little comedy that is more amusing than funny. It’s the story of three criminals who encounter a series of mishaps as they try to escape New York after a bank robbery. The most inspired sequence is the robbery itself as Bill Murray, in a full clown costume, deadpans his way through the heist.
Murray talking himself out of trouble and often right back into trouble gives the film it’s only real spark. Geena Davis is solid as female lead but she isn’t given much to do other than be apprehensive. There are also several fun little cameos dotted through the movie.
What really sinks the movie for me is the presence of Randy Quaid, who plays the kind of loud, bumbling idiot that hardly ever works for me comedically. I know he supposed to be the annoying third wheel but I think he’s intended to be endearing. He’s not and I had to fight the urge to fast toward through his scenes.
I like the idea of prime Bill Murray doing a heist gone wrong comedy. I just wished this worked better and/or was more consistently funny. 3 out of 5 stars."
