The Big White

With Robin Williams, you'd think this film would be good, but it's extremely disappointing. It's very confusing, and actually the funniest character is Robin's wife, who claims to have a disease that makes her curse at odd points. This film is... Full review

This movie tried hard to be Fargo and failed. Robin Williams's wife with the torrets syndrome was just plain annoying, not funny. Same with Robin Williams and Woody Harrelson. The only characters that I enjoyed where the two criminals that kidnap... Full review

Watched it on HBO, catch it if you can. Awesome cast, Hunter and Williams are electric together, just see it. If you're into black comedy you'll love it. If you don't love it you don't get it.... Full review

Be patient while this complex movie sets the stage for a funny, sweet, intriguing, and dark love story. This film deserved a much wider distribution. The many complex plot turns are anything but predictable. Remarkable performances create many colorful characters. Perhaps... Full review

In short, The Big White is worth seeing for its impressive location work and enjoyable performances but its ultimately let down by its uninspired plot. The Good The Big White is a worthy addition to the small but respectable genre of Snow Movies, alongside the likes of Affliction, Fargo and A Simple Plan. ... Full Review

But as a character comedy it's a success, albeit on a limited scale.....a gentle film....both the comedy and the intrigue.... ... Full Review

In many ways, The Big White is Fargo redux, as long as those ways aren't being funny, smart, or inspired. Mylod must have thought that casting comedians and terrific character actors that excel at offbeat comedies would be enough to generate natural chemistry from ad-libs and hilarious interactions to make up for the fact that Friesen's script isn't quite funny enough on its own to nail it down. ...

"Due to the lack of identity The Big White just sort of 'is'. It 'is' neither good, nor bad, it just... 'is'. I can't recommend you stay away from it, and I can't recommend you run toward it. ... Full Article
