An average movie

Before his career took a new turn with movies such as 'Broken Flowers', 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou', 'Lost in Translation' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums', Bill Murray was mostly famous for such laugh-out-loud performances. Apparently, this flick is a real cult classic starring Bill Murray and many Murray's fans will tell you that it is one of his best movies so I had some rather high expectations before watching it. Honestly, I can't say I was really blown away by the whole thing though. I mean, Bill Murray was indeed pretty good and he made me laugh many times but Geena Davis was not really convincing and wasn't really funny at all in my opinion. And it was about the same thing with Randy Quaid. Furthermore, even though I did enjoy the heist very much, the rest of the movie was not so inspiring and rather comic routine, in my opinion. I don’t know, to be honest, while watching this, I had sometimes the feeling to watch some obnoxious characters stuck into a tedious plot. Still, I have to admit, it remains a funny and entertaining flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Murray's work.
