Review of The Big Kahuna (1999) by Melita M — 04 Jun 2008
Set in a single hotel room, Danny Devito, Christian Bale, and Kevin Spacey, discuss aging, faith, and what it means to be a salesman. All actors at the top of their game, Christian Bale as the young conservative Christian newlywed on his first assignment, Kevin Spacey as the middle aged jocular fast talker(similar to American Beauty), and Danny Devito as the suicidal old goat, ready to throw in the towel. Religion and Buisness clash, and boil over in the films final moments, and best of many dialogues.
Like all single setting films, this resembles a play, however with oneiric fantasies of the characters as they'd like to see themselves, keep the movie afloat.
I can't really think of anything I didn't like about this movie.
