A movie rental employee accidentally becomes a elite spy simply because he's under the assumption everything is part a live theater experience. Around halfway through the premise starts to wear a little thin. It's not that it's not believable, but rather it becomes stale. Bill Murray is not overly goofy or aloof as he has the tendency to be. Instead he makes the movie, and it wouldn't work without him.

Bill Murray is The Man Who Knew Too Little, a charming farcical comedy that perfectly fits his talents. When Wallace Richie takes part in an improv theater performance on the streets of London, he accidentally ends up being mistaken for a spy and soon ends up deep inside a covert spy operation. Joanne Whalley, Peter Gallagher, and Alfred Molina provide a great supporting cast that works quite well with this style of humor. Also, the writing is pretty good and a lot of the jokes work; though some of the mishaps and misunderstandings go too far. Yet, despite a few missteps (and a piss-poor ending), The Man Who Knew Too Little is a hilarious comedy that’s very entertaining.

I put this movie on basically to put it on as background noise while my family and I had dinner. Needless to say, despite putting it on for that reason, it captivated us. Overall this is a fun movie to watch in your pastime, filled with laughs here and there. Pros... - The cast was never too dramatic or unenthusiastic. They played their characters perfectly, making the movie more enjoyable. - None of the funny parts of the movie felt forced, stiff, or whatnot. It was the good amount of theatrics and received more chuckles from my family and I. Cons... - I got confused with who was who when they started to call each other by name. - There was no point in giving the brother an epiphany since he just said ‘I cared about money but that’s not what’s important.’ After that, he doesn’t appear again xD.

Seen this a few times over the years and I needed some light-hearted entertainment. Movie pretty much relies all on Bill Murray. Not top shelf for him at all but I did find it pretty funny (plus Joanne Whalley was cute). **3.25/5**
