Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

NateWatchesCoolMovies It's sad to think that Barry Sonnenfield's modern day screwball comedy Big Trouble got itself buried in a sea of controversy before it was even released. It was completed right around 9/11, and since certain plot points involve a bomb on a plane, it was understandably delayed a long while, eventually getting a lackluster release that no one seemed to notice. Too bad. It's not groundbreaking in the genre, but it provides a largely varied group of characters, each wildly different so that everyone will find at least one aspect hilarious. It's somewhat hit and miss, with some odd choices, but often it rips along with a 'mad mad mad world' style, go for broke insanity and a bizarrely absurd nature to the narrative. It basically concerns a huge group of people, many of them complete morons, navigating their way around a mysterious package that may be a bomb, tripping over each others asinine actions and getting into crazy madcap chases, confrontations and loopy encounters. Tim Allen plays an ad exec with a midlife crisis, who's immature son (Ben Foster) is engaged in high school shenanigans with Zooey Deschenal. Jason Lee plays Puggy, a hippie who lives in a tree and falls in love with both Fritos and Sofia Vargera, who is a maid for upscale douchebag Stanley Tucci (steals the show as an absolute ponce) and his wife (Rene Russo). Tom Sizemore and Johnny Knoxville play pretty much real life versions of Beevis and Butthead as the world's most clueless ex cons. Bewildered cops Patrick Warburton and Janeane Garofalo try to figure out just what's going on, mob assassins Dennis Farina and Jack Kehler get driven nuts by everyone including Gator fans (those friggin gator fans), and Omar Epps and Heavy D have fun as two cheeky FBI Agents. That's not even the half of it, as the impossibly intricate dodgeball match of a storyline couldn't be understood in one viewing of the film, let alone one review. It's a treasure for me though, with endless exchanges of dialogue that I hold dear with the nostalgia I have for it. The cast also includes work from Andy Richter, Michael McShane, DJ Qualls, Daniel London, and director Sonnenfield as *gasp* a gator fun. It's all in silly fun, a weird but ultimately feel good comedy for the hyperactive and light of heart.

Python Hyena Big Trouble (2002): Dir: Barry Sonnenfeld / Cast: Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Jason Lee, Stanley Tucci, Zooey Deschanel: Big mess comedy caper going in too many directions without recovery. A plot is present but its title does it little justice because it doesn't describe the film as a whole. Director Barry Sonnenfeld's worst film since Wild Wild West and that is an accomplishment not to be proud of. Too many characters present an assembly line in shame. Stanley Tucci plays a wealthy husband targeted by hit men because he stole some money. His wife played by Rene Russo is having an affair with Tim Allen. Plot regards briefcase concealing a bomb that travels from various people. Tim Allen as an ad executive is typecast while Russo overacts every bit as bad as she did in Showtime. She is far more talented than this. Jason Lee plays a homeless guy living in a tree and he bears no importance other than to sit in a tree and observe the bullshit. Stanley Tucci is embarrassing as the targeted husband. Zooey Deschanel is featured as Russo's daughter who becomes caught up in this. One could only wish that there was an alternate script for this movie in the briefcase and that he was trying to get it to more confident hands than Sonnenfeld's. Pointless big budget circus act that is more hassle than it is worth. The title clearly describes several careers involved with this film. Score: 2 / 10

Azlan Lewis Everyone says this is a laugh.You start out with a guy chatting about his life and then it switches to a voice over of a narrator.It has major stars or at least popular stars. This looks like it was 3/4 movies tossed in a bag and the you got this mess.The script is bad, the lines bad and things are just a mess and not explained. The lines are delivered w/o no emotions.This movie is so bad you jump from one thing to another and you just can't laugh you go what just happened.Don't waste your time with it.

ruggie_uk As others have stated in their reviews, this excellent comedy is one of the funniest films I have seen. It's over the top, slapstick, situational comedy at it's best. The casting and acting was perfect for this movie, Tim and Rene provided just the right mix of romance and hilarity. The hit men and Gator scenes are absolute laugh out loud classics and made me laugh the hardest and longest I ever have. It's a film that I mention whenever the topic gets to comedy films but it is one that everybody else seems to have missed. I'm not a fan of sequels usually as I prefer originality but I really wanted more after watching this work of art. Well done chaps.
