The frantic pacing of Big Trouble is surely intentional, but the movie leaves you wanting more of... something. Not more characters--it's got plenty of those--but more room for them to breathe in a top-heavy plot that recalls Get Shorty (also directed by Barry Sonnenfeld) without reaching those heights of ingenuity. Based on the bestseller by syndicated Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, this Miami-based mayhem bears the distinct imprint of Barry's humor, in which absurdities pile up like rush-hour traffic, involving a former journalist (Tim Allen) connected by circumstance to a wealthy schemer (Stanley Tucci), his bored wife (Rene Russo), Russian mobsters, mismatched cops (Janeane Garofalo, Patrick Warburton), power-crazed FBI agents (Heavy D, Omar Epps), a Frito-loving drifter (Jason Lee), cretinous criminals (Tom Sizemore, Johnny Knoxville), and a gigantic toad that shoots hallucinogenic saliva. Culminating in an airport bomb smuggling (prompting the film's delayed release after the tragedy of September 11, 2001), Big Trouble needs the brilliant cohesion of Dr. Strangelove; what it gets is Sonnenfeld's knack for sustained chaos, and a few decent belly laughs. --Jeff Shannon

 One of my favorites! May 16, 2009
Emily C. Casanta (milwaukee, wi)
What a great movie! The entire cast plays their part perfectly! From Tom Sizemore and Johnny Knoxville as clueless thieves, to Tim Allen and Rene Russo falling for each other. I laughed from beginning to end. The hitman, Dennis Farina and his partner (whose name I cannot remember)are unbelievably funny. Pay close attention to them!

I had seen this movie before and could not find it anywhere except Amazon.com The disk was perfect and it is one of the funniest movies I have every seen, (Well, with Dave Berry being the author, what else?). I really enjoyed it and am so glad that amazon.com had it.
Big Laughs, a wonderful flick to be rewatched many times November 28, 2008

Enjoying this film is a vice. It is mindless, politically incorrect, and hilarious. Each time I see the film, I laugh some more. The cast is great, and also very much into the storyline. In fact, there is only one problem I have with this film- I wish it was more like the book. The thing is, this film was SERIOUSLY toned down for a teenage audience. But the thing is, this film would end up seen anwyway by this audience if it had an R rating, with all of the content from the book.
I love this movie though. It could have been better, but it is a masterpeice already. Sort of. Or just a flick to invite your college buddies to watch with you after you get sick of Halo.

 Good cast, Bad movie! April 1, 2008
Roberto Vitale (Orlando, FL USA)
The storyline is so poor, it wont' work unless a story-teller explains what is happening once in a while. The cast holds their own, but it does not add up to much.
