A very small picture from a big talent
Added 7/15/2007
Following "Spinal Tap" but before striking comedic gold with his own successful series of "mockumentaries," Christopher Guest directed and co-wrote this awful lampoon of the Hollywood scene, in which an award-winning film student (Kevin Bacon) dips a toe in the deep waters of the big studio lagoon and nearly loses his soul. Bacon's character is hopelessly naïve to the point of appearing stupid. Are we really supposed to believe that anyone with even a nodding acquaintance with the film world would expect a major studio to back a black-and-white relationship drama about three people in a snowed-in cabin with no music by a first-time director? Furthermore, Bacon's character becomes so craven so fast and shows so little evidence of having any talent that it is impossible to maintain sympathy for him. The finale, in which he finally directs a project from his heart by making a video for an unknown band, thereby causing a big buzz in Tinseltown, is ridiculous, especially since the video and the song are so bad. It looks like an outtake of an unused Spinal Tap number. The entire film is so bland and uninspired that I wonder whether Guest's original vision went through a dumbing-down process similar to the one he depicts in his film.

ANYWAY, GREAT MOVIE. UNTIL I SAW THIS I DIDN'T KNOW KEVIN BACON COULD ACT. HE CAN. HE REALLY CAN.

I'd Like to Thank My Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

For anyone that hasn't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. "The Big Picture" is simultaneously a parody of the movie business and the real story of how much luck and chance are involved in being successful in that business. Probably the best part of the story is towards the end, when Kevin Bacon's character makes his comeback (without even knowing it). I won't give too much away, but suffice it to say, a grilled cheese sandwich really can turn your directing career around.

I just love this movie, but it may not be for all, since it is a very specific type of humor. Don't expect "Best in Show" or "Waiting for Gufman," because this is not a mockumentary, but rather a really funny movie about the ups and downs in Hollywood. And may I add, very on point. I just love it more and more...and wish Guest would direct another one this funny.
In love with both Emily Longstreth and Teri hatcher. I can't pcik which one, so I'll choose both!
