Classic Description:
Wallace Ritchie (Bill Murray) visits his brother James in London because of his own birthday.  To divert Wallace from his German dinner, he gets him off into the "Theatre of Life", an interactive stage show that puts participants in the middle of crime-solving adventures across the streets of London.  But Wallace is about to be mistaken as a real secret American agent.  Each thing is all just a game in Walley's mind, but what he's in is really a bear dead series.  Since his stupid mind, which is still thinking he's playing a role in the "Theatre of Life", he foils everyone's plan luckily and confounds other English and Russian agents.
