Plot: A travel agent in deep debt attempts to swindle a by-the-books insurance agent by claiming the corpse of a gangland hit as his long-missing brother in director Mark Mylod's dark crime comedy. Paul Barnell (Robin Williams) is in trouble. Saddled with a cantankerous wife (Holly Hunter) and unable to convince ambitious insurance company agent Ted (Giovanni Ribisi) to pay off the one-million-dollar claim on his brother, who has been missing for five years, Paul's debts are mounting as fast as his life is crumbling. When Paul discovers the corpse of a nameless man who ended up on the wrong side of the mob, desperation drives him to stage a grizzly death scene and make it look as if his brother has suffered a horrible fate. Though the local police force is easily taken by Paul's elaborate ruse, it's going to take a little more convincing before Ted is willing to sign off on the hefty insurance payment. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Dark Comedy
Added 5/19/2009

This dark comedy starring Robin Williams is actually pretty entertaining. I don't know what expectations some people may have had for this, but I didn't really expect much, and I was therefore pleasantly surprised. Tim Blake Nelson is particularly funny in his unfortunately small role in the film. Giovanni Ribisi does well with the role of the insurance claims investigator. If you are expecting a typical Robin Williams comedy, or even something along the lines of his roles in Insomnia or One Hour Photo, you will be disappointed. This movie is nothing like those roles, and if dark comedies are not up your alley, don't bother. If you have enjoyed other dark comedies, such as Death to Smoochy and Fargo, I don't think Big White is as good as those, but it is definitely funny and especially worth the low price.
