Summary: Awsome!
Review: This movie looks great!I read this book a while ago and it was hilarious!I never expected them to make a movie out of it!A word of advice though.Just by looking at the poster you can see there are a lot of characters to follow. There are at least 15people and probably even more. Not for anyone who only wants to have to follow a couple characters.

Summary: Big Trouble Kicks!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I saw the movie Big Trouble and I was caught with boatloads of laughter. It was almost as funny, if not funnier, than the book. Dave Barry is simply a mastermind and so is Barry Sonnenfield for putting the funniest story I've ever read into a script. Again, it was a great movie that caught me laughing HOURS after I'd seen it. Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Summary: Underrated gem!

Summary: If you have a choice: Read Barry's book, skip the movie.
Review: Big Trouble was Dave Barry's first published novel, I believe, and it was so good that it immediately warranted comparisons to Elmore Leonard by many major reviewers including Mr. Leonard himself.

I read the book and laughed that kind of laugh that you only get once in awhile - the kind of laugh where the tears roll down your face and people turn their heads to stare a "what-ARE-you-laughing-at!?" kind of stare.

I say all of the above to establish that I was ready for this film to be released. When I saw that Barry Sonenfield was directing (He had helmed the FANTASTIC film version of Elmore Leonard's "Get Shorty") I anticipated it like a "Lord of the Rings" installment.

What I saw was.... a letdown. I really like Tim Allen. Same for Rene Russo. Dennis Farina shows up in a role similar to the one he had in "Shorty". The total effect wasn't even as good as a bad sitcom pilot. Where the book describes absolutely ridiculous goings-on with descriptions by Barry.... in the movie we just get to watch ridiculous goings-on, and being familiar with the book it was like watching a movie with the sound off.... something was SERIOUSLY missing.

I can't say what my view of the movie would have been if I had seen it without reading the book.... but if I had a choice between the two - I'd read the book.

Summary: Side splitting humour
Review: From beginning to end, Big Trouble offers big laughs. This star studded movie doesn't dissappoint one bit. The performances from Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Ben Foster, Stanley Tucci, Johnny knoxville, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Farino, Omar Epps and others are amazing. This 80 minute movie is packed with funny scenes throughout. The story revolves around Tim Allen's character who is a down on his luck advertiser who finds himself mixed up with a hit man (Dennis Farino), two thugs (Knoxville and Sizemore), 2 russian terrorist arms dealers, two nutty cops and a dysfunctional family. If you want a light hearted comedy that will keep you laughing throughout, Big Trouble is the answer.

Summary: Compared to all morals, this movie should go in the trash!
Review: You call this a densely comedy? This movie is about one of the most indecent ones I've ever seen. And plenty of the humor on it is not even funny. It's gross. It's so full of crude and sexual humor that it is almost displeasing to the taste. I should say that most anybody should not watch this. And when I say it should go in the trash, then I even mean that it is totally impossible for any company to ever edit and clean it. Yes, some of this movie is funny and parts of it make you get a kick out of it, like some of the actions that Tim Allen and Ben Foster perform (like where Tim Allen's character kicks his boss's computer, and walks around with it stuck on his foot in the next scene, and where Ben Foster's character plans to and does try to squirt his friend (Zooey Deschanel), and attacking her family the first time he tries to, too. Also, with another two guys who also want to shoot the owner of that house, played by Stanley Tucci, but are interrupted the first time by Ben's character, and something else after that turn; and plenty of the action and challenges that take place at the airport, going up to around the end). Plenty of what the father, son, and the girl's mother in the movie do are pretty decent, and 80 % of the time the girl (Zooey Deschanel) is, too. But a lot of what the chief thug (Tom Sizemore), Stanley Tucci, and a rude character played by Michael McShane do are just so perverted and is revolting. I mean, just those people in it (out of everyone else) are pretty much just so indecently corrupt, and talk a lot of the time like they need their mouths washed out with soap. And the policeman in it should not be publicly focused on sexual content plenty of the time, and running naked through a public airport and having a nudist party with women around the end, either. All though almost everybody says a bad word any in the movie and does any perverted acts of any kind, at least the father (Tim Allen) and his crush (Rene Russo) and the hippy-haired looking guy (Jason Lee), plus, in some degree, the girl (Zooey Deschanel) and the son (Ben Foster) and all seemed like the five cleanest ones, in both language and most of their behavior. But their parents are more cleaner all together than they are. And most of what the characters (played by Dennis Farina and Jack Kehler) do aren't so bad, either. Dennis Farina's character is a little more cleaner than Jack Kehler's (his buddy in the roll), though.

Summary: Underrated gem!
Review: This movie is absolutely hilarious. There are so many characters and sub plots that it's a hoot to see how they're all loosely tied together. Miami Herald writer Dave Barry wrote the book that this film is based on. He's the funniest columnist I've ever read. I guess that's why he's nationaly syndicated now. Check out this cast: Omar Eppes, Stanley Tucci, Tim Allen, Renne Russo, Tom Seizmore, Dennis Farina, Jason Lee, Sofía Vergara, Zooey Deschanel, Jack Kehler and Heavy D. You must not only see this, but own it as well.
