Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Nobody in the eighties made a huge success than Bette Midler,she was a comedy's Queen in that period,like this movie who she plays twice,if one Bette Midler is good try to imagine on double acting...fantastic,this turn she plays a rich and arrogant business woman instead your twin sister who is poor and friendly,together with another twin sister played by Lily Tomlin not so funny this time,when all sister end up meeting the confusion is done,all kind weird situation was placed in this clever comedy,Bette as unmistakable style as walk and as talk...singular to say at minimum!!! Resume: First watch: 2007 / How many: 2 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7.5

Lee Eisenberg One of the best examples of what comedy can be casts Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin as two sets of identical twins who got switched at birth, only to see their lives cross paths some decades later. I nearly died laughing at how people would carry on conversations with the wrong woman, totally convinced that she was the correct woman! One part of the movie that makes it seem a little less innocent are the discussions of strip mining, a type of surface mining that involves removing a long strip of overlaying soil and rock. Bobby Kennedy was going after coal companies that were doing this. More recently, the coal companies have been blowing the tops off of mountains, destroying communities in West Virginia.But anyway, it's a riot to hear the WV sisters debating the businessmen with their folksy talk. This is a movie for the ages! Also starring Fred Ward, Edward Herrmann, Seth Green (Scott in the Austin Powers movies) and financial journalist Louis Rukeyser in a cameo.So yes, is a frog's ass watertight?

vintkd "Big Business" is one of my favorite comedy from my childhood but to really understand its humor I could just today. Superstars of comedies from 80s Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin on the screen played several characters and done it perfect and very laughable. They were changing their images literally every second and looked very naturally. I like in this movie what everything happens very fast and dynamically and you don't boring no one minute. It's very important what humor in "Big Business" is very kind and not vulgar and therefore it's a perfect movie for evening watching with family. By the way I was nice surprised seen in this film an Italian actor Michele Placido, who I remember as Commissario Corrado Cattani from excellent old TV show "La piovra". He was a hero for me and my friends in my childhood. Then he was very serious and brutal but in "Big Business" he is incredibly funny and it's stunningly.

nycritic It's possible I may be a dim bulb, since I'm probably one of few people who love movies who find a lot to like in Jim Abrahams' screwball comedy BIG BUSINESS starring Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. I love build-ups to a climactic scene and this movie is pregnant with it -- of course, being screwball, the situation/premise is way out there on a flimsy limb but who cares? Seeing these two extremely funny women with distinctive comedic styles playing against each other, gravitating towards a final showdown at the Plaza Hotel which delivers on every level, strung along by a plot that just gets crazier and crazier, is really a stroke of genius. I loved this movie, I still do, and truth be damned, I think it's hilarious to the nth degree.
