Such a frustrating disappointment

Good movie but grossly overrated

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Well, this is one of the best comedies i have ever seen. This is mainly because of the characters which are absolitely amazing, especially Dennis Farina who has some amazing moments.The overall tone of this movie is very light-hearted and everything is pretty well directed too.Nothing really to complain about, so 9/10 from me.

Big Trouble is a underwhelming movie with a poorly developed plot and a terrific comedic cast that sadly could not save this. Tim Allen is in excellent form in the lead and his on screen chemistry with the other cast members is stellar, it's just a shame they did not get a genuinely funny script to work with. The plot is far less exciting than you would expect it to be from reading the summary, it has one predictable beat after another. The bad guys in this also fall flat as a result of the good guys always being one step ahead, we never truly feel like they could be victorious. Lastly, it's very safe, if it had taken risks and been a bit more absurd, it could have been a fun film. I imagine this is a movie that was originally very funny and original on its first draft, but once a bunch of Hollywood executives got their hands on it the film became more and more typical that it lost whatever made it original in the first place. A great ensemble cast can not save a by the numbers comedy. Forgetful and unfunny, Big Trouble will leave you disappointed and I would not recommend it to anyone. A corrupt executive wants to buy a nuclear bomb, but a group of mobsters are also after the device. Best Performance: Tim Allen / Worst Performance: Jason Lee

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.

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
