Cubussoli
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

**** May contain strong spoilers ****This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.Big Nothing. What is it? A comedy? A tragedy? I would say black satire and comedy interwoven and imbued with blood... and a septic tank.I have an expression I am using now and then when people ask me about movies: "Everybody dies of an overdose of drugs." Well....why am I writing that one here...? Watch the movie. ;)That is what I have to say about this one.Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Standard American production, all in all. Some glitches and errors here and there... one when Gus is speaking with the police besides Charlie and Josie; two different facial expressions in quick zooming cuts. - The actors : Simon Pegg, David Schwimmer and Alice Eve could all have been better with a great director. - Entertainment : A typical "parody-of-catastrophe-where-everything- goes-bad-for-people-hiding-the-truth". If you are seeking for clichés, look this one out (hmmm...I wonder if the gentleman with thick glasses and diabetes is coming back and have a big part of the story? Well....) - Age : 15. Blood, killings... and one drowning in a septic tank.5,4 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 5 Approved. 4 Failed. Lacking in character.)

Forget David Schwimmer from 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' and get to know this David Schwimmer, a man who can act and not be silly all the time. With him teaming with one of today's comedy best Simon Pegg with a good looking Alive Eve, all in a background of dark comedy you will have one of the funniest movie made in a long time. You take a movie and twist it, it might look better, but if you twist it multiple times it might look ugly, somehow Big Nothing was twisted so many times yet it ended up looking very very good. The movie will deliver you a great laugh with a plot that makes you want more. More comedy movies should be like this since sadly comedy movies always get poor ratings but this gets a very nice high one and it's one of those movies that can be watched again and still get the same satisfaction from it. Dark comedy at its best, amazing characters, and an excellent plot.

In the beginning Charlie Wood is an ordinary family man, who pushes his little daughter on a swing.We are in a small town in Oregon.Charlie's wife Penelope is a cop and he used to be a teacher.Now he gets a lousy job as a call center employee and gets fired on his first day.His former colleague Gus knows how to get some cash.They would blackmail Reverend Smalls who has frequently turned up in the company database of visitors to illegal porn websites.Also Josie McBroom, a former teenage pageant queen takes part in the deal.Something goes wrong and a man of the cloth ends up dead.But it's not the Reverend, it's his wife's lover Max.It's Charlie who kills the man by dumping him in a septic tank thinking he was dead already.And Reverend's wife ends up with an axe in her head, something Josie does.The wife had killed the Reverend.Also a policeman ends up dead by slipping on a toilet and breaking his skull.Now all they have to do is get rid of the bodies.There's 2 million dollars for them to share, something the Reverend had left.But things don't always happen as planned.Now here's a twisted movie.Big Nothing (2006) is directed by Jean-Baptiste Andrea.David Schwimmer does a great job as Charlie, the decent man who makes a wrong decision.Natascha McElhone is terrific as his wife Penelope.Simon Pegg is brilliant as Gus.Alice Eve is marvelous as Josie.Jon Polito is fantastic as Agent Hymes, who has diabetes.Mimi Rogers is very good as Mrs. Smalls.Also great work by Julian Glover, who plays 80 year old blind man.It's enjoyable to watch how Shcwimmer's character turns from the nice guy to...something else.To this man who's capable of killing a man.In one scene he lets the diabetic agent Hymes eat a lollipop and die.This is a comedy that has very dark humor.I had a good time watching it.

I watched The Big Nothing, Run Fat Boy Run and Hot Fuzz this week all with Simon Pegg as leads.Hot Fuzz was horrible and this was just a riot.It's dark...it's gruesome and it's funny - without a whole bunch of needless swearing or nonsense shooting.The cast was good, David Schwimmer was perfect as the wimpy guy. A better role than he ever had in Friends.Simon Pegg lost his accent and is pretty decent in this role.It's a trip that has an odd ending.This was also filmed in Isle Of Man, but I don't see where - as it's all exterior scenes in British Columbia.
