Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I've watched this movie in 2.000 at this time l gave a low rating on my book of this silly comedy,yesterday l found this title in an outlet's DVD with cheap price,so l decided to take it but watching again l still finding a forced situation...some funny jokes only,very similar Pink Panther's comedies,indeed not Bill Murray's best works!!! Resune:First watch: 2.000 / How many: 2 / Source: Cable-TV-DVD / Rating: 6

Wallace Ritchie flies to England to spend his birthday with his brother, James. James has business guests coming over and must find something to occupy his brother until dinner's over. Wallace ends up taking part in the "Theatre Of Life," which promises to treat the participant as a character in a crime drama. Trouble begins when Wallace is mistaken for a real spy and shoots a man. Now he's tangled up in a plot to kill Russian dignitaries on the eve of the signing of an important peace agreement. For him, it's all an act. But to the men who want a second Cold War, Wallace is public enemy number one......Less of a film, and more The Bill Murray Show......Live From London!!!, the film follows Murray as he is mistaken for a top agent, and him thinking it's all an act. Again its a high concept that's been done many times before, the mistaken identity farce, but here it's more of a who's who of British Thespians, rather than an all out silly farce.Firstly, the films way too dark for family viewing, talks of terrorism and our hero in peril makes for a pretty dark watch, if it were treated as a dark comedy, this could have worked, but it's too goofy in places for its own good.Secondly, there isn't enough character development. It's clear that the brothers are slightly estranged, but his never expands, and the fact that James' wife doesn't know he has a brother, or why he cannot be at the dinner, are balling, and in turn, annoying.So we are left with Murray looking bemused for the rest of the film, and seasoned actors like Molina, and Wilson subliminally rubbing their hands at the thought of their pay packet.If your a Murray fan, the sharp toothed, critical Murray you loved in Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, and Scrooged, is sorely missed.As is this movies opportunity.

www.tgchan.pl 21 minutes have passed and it is already good xDHilarious misunderstanding and I already can't wait to see more! Bill Murray has a natural charm in, such as these roles! It is a decent movie but there is no wow and oh moments in it, it just keep its pace without any greater ups and downs. I expected a little more from it... I don't think I would enjoy it, if it wasn't for Bill Murray. It wasn't bad... but it wasn't good either... There are lot of other better films out there. If you truly don't have anything better to watch or you merely desire to see Bill Murray go for it, if not... look for something else.tgchan's rating 5.5 /10

After fifteen minutes, I had the idea, that the title referred to the guy who wrote the script. After half an hour, I was completely sure. This movie (?) is lame, lousy and a complete waste of time. There's nothing that could be describes as "direction", the timing is horrible, the acting as wooden as a log and the jokes... *argh* Everything is totally predictable and annoying. Even if you're a fan of Bill Murray - like me - you won't find it amusing at all.But to be honest, there's one excellent thing about this flick: Christopher Young's score is funny, cool and simply excellent! My recommendation is, forget the movie and get yourself the soundtrack CD. It's really everything the movie pretends to be.
