Leave your thoughts about The Big Kahuna.
| Winnipeg SunRandall King[Danny DeVito] has never been better than he is here. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeDeVito's performance is as commanding as Spacey's, albeit a good deal quieter. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonSometimes good, or even almost-great acting, isn't enough. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDepicts how the ardent Christian faith of a true believer compels his two associates to probe their own ideas and ideals. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonYou get the feeling that The Big Kahuna would be great in-the-round theater, its ambiguous machinations benefiting from feeding off of a live audience. As filmed, however, it's just three characters waiting for a story. |
| CNN.comPaul TataraYou probably don't need to run out to a theater to see The Big Kahuna. |
| Film Journal InternationalEd KelleherSeems trapped between theatre and cinema, with nobody around to chew its leg off. |
| Jam! MoviesBob ThompsonIt is off-handed and a fitting reflection of our whatever-with-two-shrugs kind of age. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlThere's a vital play struggling to emerge from this mess, but it hasn't been written yet. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe only problem with the film, is that it's more of a play than a cinematic experience. |
