    • Trivia
      Bill Murray once said of this movie in an interview: "Everyone will enjoy this movie. But New Yorkers will enjoy it especially because they know how bad their city really is." In another later August 2010 interview with Dan Fierman of GQ Magazine, Murray said: "It's great. It's a great piece of writing. And how about the cast? You couldn't get that cast together for all the tea in China right now. I mean, Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub...".

    • Quotes

      Grimm: When you say "near" the airport...

      Bus Driver: .48 miles.

      Grimm: Alright. When do we get there?

      Bus Driver: 22:30 hours.

      Grimm: When is that? In human time.

      Bus Driver: 10:30.

      Grimm: 10:30. Say you had to walk it...

      Bus Driver: With that injured individual?

      Grimm: Yes.

      Bus Driver: I can't give you a precise figure on that.

      Grimm: Come on! Make a guess.

      Bus Driver: 21 minutes.

    Watch this movie.
    Many of the comments here are too enthusiastic, and some are far too critical. But a small group hit the nail on the head: this a very good film that is definitely worth watching. The highlight of the movie is the beginning, there is no doubt about that, but the rest is still good. While the relationships between the characters may seem "awkward" to some, they come off as very human, and not contrived. Human beings are awkward. The ending on the other hand, is a little contrived, and goes a little far in terms of just how much the viewer will believe. But it's not a bad ending and as another comment said, it is very exciting.

    Very good script and very good acting. Funny, clever, exciting. I gave Quick Change an 8 out of 10, and I was even tempted to boost it to a 9.
