Title: Murray's films have been reliably good..until now
Review: I've often wondered why Bill Murray's career hasn't afforded him the types of roles we see Robin Williams getting. This film is the explanation. There is some built in comedy here. Murray, thinking he's participating in a theatrical farce, digs himself deep into the underground world of international spies. Through clumsy coincidences he manages to convince those in power that he is actually very clever. This is something to watch if you're reeeeeal desperate. It works on a lowest common denominator type of comedy. Murray incorporates a slapstick humor here, which is not his fortee. I think that the fact that there is no emotional bond to the characters works against its entertainment value. Rent "Groundhog Day" or "Scrooged" again instead.
