Description:Wally Ritchie (Bill Murray) makes a surprise trip to visit his brother in London. His brother has an important meeting, so he signs Wally up for The Theater of Life, a group that does impromptu drama on city streets. Wally accidentally gets mixed up with a group plotting to explode a bomb and restart the cold war. He teams up with Lori (Joanne Whalley), a woman who has information that will expose the plot and is trying to exchange it for money. The two bumble around, Wally thinking he's in a play, Lori thinking he's a super spy, and without ever knowing what's really happening, they manage to foil the plot and save the day.
My Rating:5

Reviews for The Man Who Knew Too Little

Review - Man Who Knew Too Little, The

A premise with potential, and some funny moments, but overall just stupid. Wally's ignorance of what was really happening was dragged on way, way past the point of believability. And then some. And Lori's frequent laughter can only be described as maniacal.
