Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
Because the tone is so light, so genial and eager to please, the whole enterprise seems the opposite of prescient. It seems naive, almost delusional.

Sprawling comedy has a few laughs in it -- and the specter of recent events hanging over it.

Rating: 2/4 --
Mostly ... Sonnenfeld mishandles the broad part of the comedic formula, preferring repetition to thematic development.

The worst thing someone could say about "Big Trouble" is that it's too much like "Get Shorty," which is one of the best reasons to go see the film

Makes for distinctly uneasy viewing, as Big Trouble's massive subtext repeatedly threatens to overwhelm its haphazardly stylized diegesis.

Rating: 1/5 --
Faithful to the events in Barry's novel, lifts a good deal of his witty dialogue, and recruits a proven cast of laugh-winners. Why, then, is it so resolutely unfunny?

Director Barry Sonnenfeld unites an incredibly unique and charismatic ensemble cast for this witty adaptation of Dave Barry's 1998 novel.

Product Description:
In Barry Sonnenfeld's BIG TROUBLE, based on the novel by Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, Tim Allen stars as Eliot Arnold, a former Miami Herald columnist whose wife has left him, drives a Geo, and has an awkward relationship with his teenage son, Matt (Ben Foster). When Eliot meets Anna Herk (a blonde Rene Russo), the wife of crazy moneyman Arthur (Stanley Tucci) and mother of Jenny (Zooey Deschanel), whom Matt is trying to supersoak, they are immediately attracted to each other. Meanwhile, Puggy (Jason Lee), a Fritos fetishist who lives in a tree, falls for the Herks' maid, Nina (Sofia Vergara), as two hit men from Newark (Dennis Farina and Jack Kehler) out to whack a sometimes wigged-out Arthur also attempt to stay away from the cops (an extremely efficient officer played by Janeane Garofalo and a doofus beefcake played by Patrick Warburton). Throw in a psycho security guard (Andy Richter), two top-secret FBI agents (Heavy D and Omar Epps), two lowlife cons (Tom Sizemore and Johnny Knoxville), some Russian mobsters, and a big silver box that probably does not have a household appliance in it and you have one wacky screwball comedy that is as funny as it is wildly complicated.
