5.0 out of 5 stars
As seen on the Discovery channel, May 15 2004
This review is from: Big Trouble (DVD)
This star packed movie is non stop action. You will not find one cliché or un-original thought in this movie. There is no way to anticipate the plot.
Actually it is like reading a Dave Berry novel; that could be because the story was based on one. As with all his works it starts off reasonable builds up to incredulous and then over the top. You are carried along with out even realizing it.
The story starts off with many overlapping threads. We have a young hit man from school out to get a school girl all wet. There is an unscrupulous character (Stanley Ticci) with a graphic (close your eyes) toe (belonging to Sofía Vergara) fetish. The mother (Rene Russo) goes down of the would-be hit man. The television is shot. Nina meets her maker Puggy. The dog finds aromas. Need I say more?
O.K. there is a frog, goats, and a portable garbage disposal.
On a deeper level it is about families and trust. But don't mind that now just sit back and have some fun

A very funny movie that somehow never got the attention it deserved. Interesting plot and great characters.

Funny As Hell, Jun 16 2004
This review is from: Big Trouble (DVD)
This movie is absolutely hilarious. There are so many characters and sub plots that it's a hoot to see how they're all loosely tied together. Miami Herald writer Dave Barry wrote the book that this film is based on. He's the funniest columnist I've ever read. I guess that's why he's nationaly syndicated now. Check out this cast: Omar Eppes, Stanley Tucci, Tim Allen, Renne Russo, Tom Seizmore, Dennis Farina, Jason Lee, Sofía Vergara, Zooey Deschanel, Jack Kehler and Heavy D. You must not only see this, but own it as well.
