Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

" glancing, genial sarcasm buoys the action for the first half-hour. Then this caper comedy sinks into a puddle of urban rancor. - TIME Magazine There is not much in Quick Change that hasn't been anticipated by Neil Simon and beaten to death by countless imitators.

Guess again. - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone"

"First viewing - May 7th New Cult Canon article on the A.V. Club site I link to the above article because it puts this film perfectly in perspective & echoes my thoughts on it. I loved the beginning third of the film, but the rest of it didn't quite hold up as well. A lot of the major plot points were pretty predictable, but I found myself entertained & engrossed regardless. The various characters & faces of NYC helped enliven the film as it proceeded, and so I think I got more enjoyment out of"
