"Quick Change" was a quick start then it waned. I think they served the main course at the beginning and ended with their appetizers.
"Quick Change" started with a brilliant bank robbery pulled off by Grimm (Bill Murray), Phyllis (Geena Davis), and Loomis (Randy Quaid). From that point on it was all downhill. It devolved into this comedy of errors involving missed freeway signs, their car being wrecked, a bad cab ride, and more. Very little of it was funny and they painfully dragged on the "I-need-to-tell-you-something" bit when it was obvious to everyone with an IQ above 50 that Phyllis had to tell Grimm she was pregnant. It was like, "Spit it out already!"
The movie is based upon the book titled "Hold-Up" by Jay Cronley. The story itself is good and I can imagine it working better on paper than it did on film. Maybe it was the three main characters and a lack of chemistry between them or maybe it was the screenplay, but I found the movie tedious after the first twenty minutes.
