  • I'm a big fan of "Big Fan"

    I rented it on DVD, and I was floored on how good Patton Oswalt was (long shot of him getting an Oscar nom) in the role of a NY Giants fan who gets beat up by his fave star player, after a bad meeting. Brilliant and down-to earth from start to finish.

    Yup, solid little flick. Very similar to two De Niro movies: THE FAN and KING OF COMEDY, but with the serious tone and grit of THE WRESTLER.

      I hadn't seen much on this film and then I watched it last night. I was expecting a comedy but instead was pleasantly surprised without a tight little drama. Loved it right up until the ending which I didn't really like.

        I loved the ending because it basically sums up what sports fans are: Dedicated.

        I wish that ending was written for another black comedy I had mixed feelings for, "Falling Down."
