Editorial Review: Product Description: The lives of several miami denizens from ad agents to gunrunners to street thugs to law enforcement to school-children intersect with humorous and dangerous results. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/04/2005 Starring: Tim Allen Johnny Knoxville Run time: 85 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Barry Sonnenfeld Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Big Laughs, a wonderful flick to be rewatched many timesEnjoying 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 ...

The cast holds their own, but it does not add up to much. Rating: - Hilarious - Barry is a GeniusWatch this movie. If you're unsure, you can rent it first...chances are you'll laugh so hard that you won't think twice about buying it. Barry is one of those writers who not only creates hilarious characters and dialogue, but a plot that is funny in and of itself. Everything works together seamlessly. It's a cute, quick little romp through the mind of one of the funniest writers in America. Worth every penny in re-watch value. Rating:  - Big Trouble is funny and moves along.Big Trouble is based on a story by humorist Dave Barry. The cast is great and the story moves right along. We liked it so much we finally had to buy our own copy. Browse for similar items by category:
