Traveling to my local store, I needed some entertainment. I was in the mood for a laugh and having seen Tim Allen is a few films, I decided to try Big Trouble.
Being from Oz, we hadn't heard anything about this flick and I knew I was taking a gamble.
But it was a gamble that paid off big time. From the start, Jason Lee is delightful as the innocent bystander drawn into an insane story by random acts of fate.
Allen was great with his quiet yet hilarious character who was offset by Foster as his overly sarcastic, yet still lovable son.
The highlight of the piece however for me was Dennis Farina. I enjoyed seeing him in Snatch and Out Of Sight and he played the grumpy, easily annoyed hitman to perfection.
A great ensemble cast, including Stanley Tucci, Janeane Garafolo, Rene Russo and Tom Sizemore, added truckloads to this outrageously funny comedy.
With great lines and characters, Big Trouble is certainly worth a look.
Easily Worth 4.5 out of 5
