Witty, original, romantic

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 1999)

Witty, original, romantic - what more do you want? Definitely one of those "two level" films - you can enjoy it just for Murray's hilarious antics and the sharp script, but this a story that is really about something. Most attempts at the Redemption theme end up being either heavy handed or so platitudinous that you want to throw up. Here Ramis handles it so deftly you will wonder if this really is the same buffoon from SCTV.
If you have not seen it, I'm envious. Watch for the Jeopardy scene - an absolute classic.
