Better than I thought

I quite liked Big Nothing. I expected more of a straight comedy, having heard very little about it, but it was more of a black-comedy/action with elements of murder mystery thrown in. Quite a nice blend when you see it.

As for the actors, I think the casting was well done, though seeing Simon Pegg play an American was a bit weird. David Schwimmer also made a good attempt of a non-Ro... read more

I thought it was not bad. I really like Simon Pegg and he was quite funny in this. However, at the end, the numerous twists (I hate when they do that!) were quite annoying and I found the ending, even if it was inevitable, rather sad. Still, it is definitely worth a look if only for the hilarious call center scenes at the beginning.

"March 26 "Holy Moly!" "Who says "Holy Moly"?" Before I watched this movie, I was expecting Simon Pegg to be the funny guy and David Schwimmer to be the annoying guy. I was surprised to find out that he wasn't annoying in this movie at all. He was actually funny in this movie too which is also surprising. This is probably one of the funniest black comedies I have seen. Simon Pegg is great as always and everyone in the cast manages to deliver some funny lines.
