ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

With a cast of characters so large that Robert Altman would feel at home, Big Trouble manages to do a lot of clever little things and generate quite a few big laughs without wearing out its welcome. ...read the complete Big Trouble movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Big Trouble is, for lack of a better term, a glorious mess. It's fun, frantic, and off-the-wall - a bizarre amalgamation of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Two Days in the Valley, and Dumb and Dumber. ...read the complete Big Trouble movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

It's the kind of movie you can't quite recommend because it is all windup and not much of a pitch, yet you can't bring yourself to dislike it. ...read the complete Big Trouble movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

"Big Trouble" is based on a novel by Dave Barry, and I have no trouble believing that. The genius of Dave Barry is that he applies a logical and helpful analysis to a situation that can only be worsened by such intervention. ...read the complete Big Trouble movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)

Director Barry Sonnenfeld is on familiar ground, as this film closely resembles his "Get Shorty" in terms of subject matter and attitude. The pace is quick, the movie is short, the jokes are fast and the timing is sharp. Everyone who deserves to...read the complete Big Trouble (2002) review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)

Tempi Moderni

Nella turbolenta città di Miami, una misteriosa valigia sta per sconvolgere la vita di un improbabile banda di personaggi.

Susan Granger

Perhaps - before Sept. 11th - a comedy about dim-witted thugs smuggling a nuclear bomb aboard an airplane would have been funny. Now it just makes you cringe. Yet, even when writers Robert Ramsey & Matthew Stone (working from humorist Dave Barry's book)...read the complete Big Trouble (2002) review at Susan Granger
