Review of The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997) by Austin C — 16 Jun 2008
A surprising good comedy starring Bill Murray, it's also a tad underrated too. Murray plays Wallace Ritchie, a video shop owner who goes to London to see his brother James (Peter Gallagher). For Wallace's birthday, James books him into an experimental interactive theatre experience, but one misunderstanding leads to another, and Wallace finds himself embroiled in a real-life spy plot, but he all thinks it's an act, and he's mistaken for a real spy.
The film has some very funny sequences in it, and Murray is a perfect match for the material, director Jon Amiel keeps up a good pace throughout the film, plus the film has a few familiar faces in it, including Alfred Molina, John Thomson and Richard Wilson!!
