Watch to see if any uncomfortable interactions between Geena Davis and Bill Murray. Sexual harassment accusation by Geena Davis years after film made. Hundred or so cast and crew members witnessed without anyone speaking up apparently. Off camera of course.

Bill Murray stars and directs in this inoffensive, lightweight black comedy about a band of would-be bank robbers caught in the middle of a rapidly unfurling master plan. The plot is typically loose, silly and predictable, a narrow-sighted exercise on the same level as Mr. Mom or Stir Crazy, but still manages to slip in a few biting observations about the period's culture... most of which are validated by Murray's deliciously sardonic delivery. Costars Geena Davis and Randy Quaid are often just along for the ride, though, delivering bad lines with all the subtlety of a brick to the face, and nobody ever seems to take their predicament terribly seriously. Practically bad but inexplicably charming, like many of its genre-mates from the late '80s, it's good for a few shockingly large laughs but wilts under closer examination.

The heist at the beginning is interesting, Bill Murray is, for once at that time, not overacting (though Quaid is) and Geena Davis is charming as ever. The second part of the movie, where they try to get out of the city, is, to my mind way too artificial and unrealistic. That makes the movie just mediocre to my mind, though the acting performances buy a it a bit back. Ok for light entertainment.

For May birth of Bill Murray, a clown thief.
