Only die-hard Bill Murray fans will likely consider this movie for their home-video library, but it's not without its rewards. You can see why someone as comically astute as Murray would agree to play a dimwitted American who can't tell the difference between improvised theater and a real-life espionage plot. There's certainly plenty of potential for belly laughs, and Murray milks the opportunities like the old pro that he is. Here he plays an American tourist in London who thinks he's been recruited into a street-theater act called "Theater of Life"; actually, he's stepped into a complicated spy scheme that plays like a cross between Hitchcock and the Marx Brothers. Joanne Whalley costars as the femme fatale who may or may not be a double agent, and along the way there's enough comical confusion to foil any number of idiotic villains. The movie stretches its one-joke premise to desperate extremes (Murray thinks he's in a play, so he's oblivious to genuine danger), and 95 minutes is more than enough time to exhaust the comedic possibilities. But, as always, Murray finds a way to mine gold from a few clever bits, and he cuts loose with some inspired lunacy during a climactic scene involving a hidden bomb and a troupe of dancing Cossacks. It's not Murray's finest hour, but give him credit for making the best out of a challenging situation. --Jeff Shannon

 Family Favorite December 22, 2008
This movie has been my family's favorite for years, and when our video tape got worn out, we just had to get this movie on DVD!
The Man Who Laughed Too Much! December 13, 2008
I can't say enough about how funny this movie is. Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. It's even funnier the more you watch it, because you pick up on things you didn't notice previously, I would definitely recommend this one! If you keep it in mind through out the movie that Bill Murray's character(Wally)really believes that everything going on around him is acting, and not real life, just even the most subtle things will make you laugh! One of my favorite movies ever!
Great laugh October 4, 2008
This movie is great! It's very funny, I laughed so hard it was simply therapeutic. Bill Murray is exceptional in this movie, he relishes the role of a clueless American in Europe. Hilarious!
 Good old comedy Bill Murray October 4, 2008
I love this movie. It's just fun and funny. Great concept. It's a bit over the top and un-realistic... but it's a comedy so I don't mind.
Movie received in good quality. July 17, 2008
The movie was shipped with promptness and no damage to the casing. No scratches on the disk and would recommend seller.
