The Man Who Knew Too Little

ALSO CHECK OUT - How I Murdered Myself 

Bill Murray travels from Iowa to London to meet his brother and his family and celebrate his birthday there. But the brother doesn't want to be bothered by his unimpressive sibling, so to get him out of the way, as he has an important dinner planned for the evening, he gives a ticket to the 'Theatre Of Life' to Bill.

Now the 'Theatre Of Life' of life is supposed to be an audience participation game that looks like a real life event (remember Game) where things happen with the character that look real, but eventually it's all a game and everyone the person meets is just an actor with a role and nothing is real.

So our protagonist heads to the theatre of life and to begin proceedings he has to pick up the phone at a particular phone booth from where he will get his instructions. 

And sure enough the phone rings and Bill does pick up the phone but the call is meant for an assassin and unknowingly Bill gets involved in a serious terrorist plot still thinking it's all a game. He takes the identity of an assassin and ends up saving the day in the process.

So, in a way, this is the reverse of 'Game' where the character was in a game with actors all around him but didn't know it thinking it was all brutally real. Here the stupid protagonist is in a real life terrorist plot but thinks it's all a game! And as he presumes that it's all a game, he has no fear of the others whom he thinks are just actors, hence he is the bravest guy in London that day! And for this reason fits the part of a lethal assassin perfectly!

Wow, isn't that some plot! For the story itself, this is worth a watch. Add to that the imaginative title that parodies a classic (The Man Who Knew Too Much), and an in form Bill Murray and you have a clear winner.

Watch this just for the fun of it. You may not end up knowing too much after you watch it, or even more than what you already know, or becoming a more intelligent, more wiser, more mature person, but you may end up enjoying this a lot.

This is not a life changing movie. It's a mood changing one.
