Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 20 Oct 2007

The script is consistently humorous, even if a few punch lines are predictable and the wit is neither highbrow nor split-a-gut funny…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 22 Jul 2007

Faithful to the events in Barry's novel, lifts a good deal of his witty dialogue, and recruits a proven cast of laugh-winners…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Robert K. Elder (222) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2007

Sonnenfeld mishandles the broad part of the comedic formula, preferring repetition to thematic development…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Aug 2006

There are stretches of big fun in Big Trouble, and little pleasures too…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 03 Nov 2005

Timing is key in a comedy like this, and Sonnenfeld keeps everyone and everything clicking. The pacing is swift and the laughs are steady…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Kim Morgan (275) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 12 Sep 2005

It's something we might mildly enjoy on an airplane (well, not anymore) or on a lazy Sunday TV day when nothing else is on, but in theaters,…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for TV Guide Magazine (2,375) on 10 Mar 2005

It's not the bomb on the plane that scuttles this film: It's the mugging, ham-fisted direction and total absence of comic timing…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Mar 2004

A pleasant diversion, a lightly amusing criminal comedy with a plot so complicated even the people in it can't quite believe what's happening…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Vanessa Sibbald (37) for Zap2it.com (379) on 24 Feb 2004

The worst thing someone could say about Big Trouble is that it's too much like Get Shorty, which is one of the best reasons to go see the film…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By James Rocchi (1,075) for Netflix (481) on 16 Jul 2003

Sprawling comedy has a few laughs in it -- and the specter of recent events hanging over it…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Tyler Hanley (218) for Palo Alto Weekly (965) on 19 May 2003

Director Barry Sonnenfeld unites an incredibly unique and charismatic ensemble cast for this witty adaptation of Dave Barry's 1998 novel…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Frank Ochieng (928) for Movie Eye (513) on 04 Feb 2003

Big Trouble is one of those great big silly capers that fails at juggling its dark humor while feeling cutesy in its ability to dance around…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Gareth J. Von Kallenbach (9) for Film Threat (5,156) on 08 Dec 2002

Tim Allen is great in his role but never hogs the scenes from his fellow cast, as there are plenty of laughs and good lines for everyone in…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By John J. Puccio (1,217) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 07 Nov 2002

It's a good thing Tim Allen has Santa Claus to fall back on because any more pictures like this one and he'd be in BIG trouble…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Margaret A. Mcgurk (290) for Cincinnati Enquirer (290) on 14 Oct 2002

Huffs like a bus headed uphill while Mr. Sonnenfeld and company shovel on weirdness and hope for the best…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 25 Sep 2002

Big Trouble is...one of the more enjoyable comedies to emerge in a good long while…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 10 Sep 2002

The plot is so amusingly contrived and outlandish in its coincidences that no one could ever mistake it for anything resembling reality…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 24 Aug 2002

Nothing in Big Trouble occurs for any reason other than to appease director Barry Sonnenfeld's yen for randomly orchestrated cuteness…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Karina Montgomery (580) for Cinerina (549) on 30 Jun 2002

It?s fun, but the book is far, far better…

Review of Big Trouble (2002)

By Audrey Rock-Richardson (174) for Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah) (173) on 29 May 2002

What a promising name for such a disappointing movie…
