DVD Reviews of Big Nothing
DVD Review: Hilarious movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was one that my fiance asked for. we watched it and we could not get enough of it. Hilarious and somewhat twisted. Purely a Simon Pegg movie through and through!DVD Review: Very good dvd and service
Summary: 4 Stars
DVD arrived on time and umdamaged. The quality of the dvd was very good. I would recommend buying this dvd from this source.DVD Review: A whole bunch of dark fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a joy for me to watch! I haven't ever been let down yet by Simon Pegg (the guy from Shawn of the Dead) and his wit plays off of Schwimmer's drollitivity(?) perfectly. The chick is dynamite and she mentally kicks the crap out of the two men who are smart enough to acknowledge it with just the right amount of self deprecation. The plot constantly twists and turns and the comedy is all black. That's key for me. Give me laughs couched in morally questionable (or directly sinful) situations and I'm happy as a clam.DVD Review: The worst laid plans
Summary: 4 Stars
Plots involving bumbling amateur criminals are practically their own genre. This is one of the more enjoyable I've seen.
It's a UK/Canadian production but it's set in the U.S. and it stars David Schwimmer in my favorite movie role of his to date. His lugubrious manner is complimented by bouncy, James-Cagney-like Simon Pegg, a British comedian donning a perfect American accent. Their screen chemistry is wonderful.
Joining them is another Brit with another perfect American accent plus tremendous sex appeal, Alice Key, playing a third kooky wheel in this unlikely team of extortionists. I gotta say: the acting by everyone (Brit, American, and Canadian) is top-notch.
The script by Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Andrea and American Billy Asher tries to avoid cliches or at least improve on them, and Andrea's direction gives the film a slightly surreal touch altho the film retains a down-to-earth quality.
That surreal touch plus its dark quality may limit this film's appeal, but those who like terrific acting and fast-paced fun may revel in that appeal.
(To people who have already seen the film: there's a difference of opinion here and at the Amazon UK site about Simon Pegg's accent. I think that those who are familiar with Simon Pegg will be influenced by that familiarity and find his accent strange -- while those of us who aren't familiar with him will find his accent perfect, albeit energetic, Midwestern. Can you click on the "comments" link below my review and reveal (1) if you were familiar with Pegg before this movie and (2) how succcessful you thought his accent was? Thanks.)
DVD Review: GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is by far on of my favorite movies! I recomend this movie to anyone! buy this movie!!!
Description of Big Nothing
Charlie is an ex-teacher turned reluctant call-center employee who gets fired on the first day. Distraught and unable to provide for his family, he partners up with Gus, an aspiring scam artist, on a seemingly snag-free plan to make some cash: blackmail Reverend Smalls, a man of the cloth, who has frequently turned up in a database of visitors to illegal adult websites. With the help of Gus' ex, a one-time pageant queen, the plan moves ahead... but it all goes wrong as Reverend Smalls dies, thanks to this trio. And that's just the beginning of their troubles...General DVDs
