Review of Big Trouble (2002) by Sonya L — 31 Mar 2004
By all rights, Big Trouble should be a movie I love. A great ensemble cast, a heck of a writer, and a decent director should make a great movie, right? The story or how a group of completely different people come together through weird happenstance and coincidence to stop a nuclear bomb from destroying Miami should be funny as hell, right?
EHHHHH!!! Wrong, sorry. Tell them what they've won, Alex.
It's painful to watch a movie like this stray from the fine line of greatness, but from the very beginning, Big Trouble begins to live up to its name. Just one unfunny scene after another played for laughs that aren't deserved and never come.
There's one great scene in this movie that has to do with an hallucinogenic toad and Martha Stewart, but now that I've probably ruined it for you, there's no reason for you to waste your time seeing this movie in theaters.
Sure, when it's on video, it'll be worth a look, but until then... stay out of trouble.
