Review of Big Nothing (2006) by Tyler M — 19 Feb 2008

Black humor fills this constantly twisting film.

For those used to seeing Simon Pegg in things like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead you're in for a treat as he flexes his acting muscles, gone is his accent in favor of being an all American con man. Not his greatest work but still worth seeing.

Alice Eve was hit or miss, she could probably be replaced by a number of other actresses.

David Schwimmer doesn't do much to step out of the rolls we're all too use to seeing by now. The loser in life looking for some kind of solution... Though he comes off as A LOT less whiney here than his lack-luster character in F.R.I.E.N.D.S, he still carries the fundemental characteristics... I like to think that someday he'll wow audiences with something a little different, and that maybe in the future he won't take same role over and over again, but than again the man does need to work, and if that's all that's hitting his plate than maybe he should be working in the call center.

There's a lot of twists and turns and the simple problem from the beginning snowballs into a fairly lame, semi-predictable ending, somewhat underwhelming ending.
