Big Trouble (2002)

Wonderful character development!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Big trouble Well this was a bust. I just got done watching the 2001 live action Tick and saw what's his name is in this and he made an excellent Tick. But the dude is hardly in this mess. This is the type of film where you wonder who the heck signed off on this and why was it made in the first place. It is an unfunny comedy. I only laughed once. But on an interesting note this film has a few up and coming B-level stars in it. Long story short, this film is worth no one's time.

The funny thing about "Big Trouble" is that plot isn't the movie's winning feature (and I say that being a Dave Barry fan) so much as the direction. Between the characters and comedic situations, this movie graduated from the school of throwing everything at the audience, and Barry Sonnenfeld does an impressive job making it work. It's just a dogpile of characters (all of whom are well cast); the standouts being Dennis Farina, Heavy D and Janeane Garofalo (look, politics aside, she's a pretty brunette with command presence; the heart wants what it wants).It's not shooting for high art, but for a story with intersecting narratives and so many faces, it's more than functional. Some of the one-liners are pure gold, and the sense of humor is spot-on.I love this movie.8/10

This is pretty funny. I can't go into any detail because it's been a while since I've seen it but I can describe it as a fast farce with good performances. The plot has something to do with two imported killers trying to knock off obnoxious Miami resident and debtor Stanley Tucci.The opening scene was ominous though. A Christ-like figure -- bearded, long-haired, and wearing a beatific smile while being haloed by a light behind him -- addressed the camera directly. He introduces the story, says he will now turn over the narration to someone more closely involved with the events, and tells us, "My name is Puggy. I live in a tree." I'm glad the remote was not closer than it was.It's cleverly written and nicely done in an inoffensive way. You'll probably enjoy it if you don't look for some sort of serious message behind the pratfalls and contretemps.

Tim Allen, Rene Russo, and pretty much the rest of Hollywood star in Big trouble. The little film that everyone hated but I loved. Big trouble is insanely hilarious. I have seen it at least a billion times. It's funny every time. There are a lot of good performances in the film but the best one is given by Stanley Tucci as Arthur Herk, who everyone is trying to kill. Tim Allen stars as Elliot Arnold, a journalist for The Miami Herald. Or he was until he smashed his bosses computer."Unless you want to keep your job, you will put something in here(The computer) before you go home". "How about I put something in there right now?" Elliot isn't the main character exactly. I suppose he is, I don't know what I was saying. He is the narrator. big trouble is the story of people living in Miami. Stanley Tucci plays Arthur Hurk, an ill tempered guy who is wanted dead. He is married to Anna(Rene Russo). You know what, there is too much that happens in Big trouble, so I am not going into it. But I will say another plot point. There is a bomb that has been sent to Russians. I am not going into anything else about the plot. The cast of Big trouble is large. It also includes Patrick Warburton(From my favorite show, Seinfeld), Jeaneane Garfulo(Romy and Michelle), Tom Sizemore(Natural born killers), Johnny Knoxville(Jackass), Dennis Farnia(Get shorty), Ben Foster, even Zooey Deschanel. I love Big trouble for the same reasons why I loved Burn after reading. Because so much happens and there is so much story. Too much story is a bit better than no story at all.
