Enjoyably quirky thriller with bizarre, off-the-wall performances from its entire cast and some striking location work.

A lame Fargo wannabe. Despite Robin Williams and a decent supporting cast, this was barely released to theaters, and it's easy to see why.

A cross-between "Raising Arizona" and "The Big Lebowski". A good film.

It's one of those movies that wants to be hip, but winds up being irritating in a pretentious, poseur sort of way.

Though it's better than Robin Williams' recent theatrical hit R.V., it still doesn't quite click.

a very good and underrated little movie, full of black comedy, clever coincidences and plot twists

March of the Penguins was funnier and edgier.

Snowed under by misjudgment on every level, The Big White is DOA.
