"Quick Change" comes a bureaucrat who is sick of urban life and dreams of an escape with his girlfriend. Unlike most, he finds a way to put his fantasies into action by robbing a bank. He has additional help from a loyal child-like friend.
The "quick change" from their disguises in the bank might be the reference in the title though there might be a deeper meaning about the need to change on a personal level or how we do change. This is after all part of the conflict -- the lead's girlfriend is uncomfortable about his apparent personality change as he appears to almost cruelly go about escaping from the myriad of roadblocks put in front of them (some pretty funny, other wryly so) while they try to escape the city.
The film suggests a certain love of the city since much of the humor is based on various exaggerated expressions of "types" (like a bus driver who strictly follows the rules to keep sane or a big city detective, well played by Jason Robards -- part of a good ensemble cast, about to retire). It is also often low key, which some might not like, but I did enjoy the film as a whole. And, Bill Murray is not so sure of himself, so above the fray, that we don't see him as a real person.
Funny movie which New Yorkers might appreciate more.
