Rating: Summary: Lori Wants Her Letters........ Review: This movie was a real surprise for me and my wife. We rent a lot of comedy movies and have passed this one up a couple of times thankfully having picked it out just recently and now intending to buy it.Murray plays a very funny underachiever who just so happens to get involved with international intrigue, yet he thinks he is involved in a one night reality TV program. His straight side kick in the movie is Joanne Whalley playing Lori. Murray is a crack up throughout the film thinking he is in a movie and thinking that all of the spies and diplomats are actors staying in character.....he is the funniest since Groundhog Day in this. I feel he is better than 'What About Bob.' Peter Gallagher plays his brother and the funniest interaction he has is with an actual police officer where Gallagher, who funded Murray's intended movie romp, thinks he is talking with an actor and as he gets angrier he just gets funnier. The movie has a lot of funny scenes that I laughed throughout. I thought the first part of the movie was little slow in developing but as soon as he got the call for what he thought was the reality show, things really took off. I laughed and laughed as he got chased, shot at, tortured and then all through it he thinks he is in a show. If there is a movie you want to share with friends for a nice fun evening this it.
Rating: Summary: Good Fun Review: Most of the Bill Murray comedies I have seen in my life have been rather stupid. Then it seems that Murray's brand of humour changed just slightly because I loved this movie. In a time when comedies are getting more and more disgusting with vulgar scenes and low brow moronic teen situations this movie is a gem. The writing is great and Murray's acting is perfect. If you like this and want to see another great Murray flick try Groundhog Day or Rushmore. Good stuff.
Rating: Summary: Very well put together Review: Bill Murray is playing a man who thinks he's in an improv. class. Little does he know, he's in it for real. They can rip it off all they want, this is ghreat. If you have'nt seen it, do. Starring Bill Murray. RECOMMENED
Rating: Summary: Hilarious, plain and simple Review: There's really no other way to describe this movie. It's a very well written, humorous comedy about a man who thinks he's gone to a play where normal people can take part in the drama. He doesn't realize, though, that he is actually taking part in a very real, very literal conflict which could get him killed. Oblivious to all the danger, he wanders through what he believes to be scenes from the play, nearly killing others - and almost himself - throughout the film. I laughed almost all the way through this funny drama. It has a great mix of action and laughs. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a love for comedy.
