Review of The Big Kahuna (1999) by Monsieur R — 27 Aug 2010
This is great acting and seemingly thin plot... it all takes place in a suite of a hotel in Wichita, but don't go to sleep on it.... the last half hour is as tense as it gets.
A real morality play... the young marketing man is a bible thumper at the cost of his job... making one veteren salesman in particular, go bonkers. DeVito is excellent as the weary co-worker. Don't be fooled by the cover jacket photo.... that is simply what one veteran salesman envisions of himself while escaping a crowded suite via the bathroom to talk with his dear friend DeVito.
A true dipiction of what salesmen go through to get the big sale from you guessed it: the big Kahuna!
At first this was a little waste of time, but stick with it. Again, the last half hour makes the film... very [i]heavy[/i] stuff.
