Product Description
TO REMEDY HIS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, A TRAVEL AGENT HAS HIS EYE ON A FROZEN CORPSE, WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE SOUGHT AFTER BY TWO HITMEN.
Amazon.com
In The Big White, a failing Alaskan travel agent hopes he's found the answer to his problems when a couple of thugs leave a dead body in a dumpster outside his business. The lack of a body has prevented Paul Barnell (Robin Williams, The Birdcage, One Hour Photo) from claiming his missing brother's life insurance. Unfortunately, the thugs who dumped the body in the first place (Tim Blake Nelson, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and W. Earl Brown, Deadwood) want it back, so they kidnap Barnell's wife (Holly Hunter, Raising Arizona), who may or may not have Tourette's Syndrome. Meanwhile, an obsessive insurance agent (Giovanni Ribisi, Saving Private Ryan) smells something fishy and thinks he's found the case that will get him and his phone psychic girlfriend (Alison Lohman, White Oleander) transferred to warmer climes, and Barnell's long-missing brother (Woody Harrelson, White Men Can't Jump) returns, a bit perturbed to learn he's dead. The Big White suffers from an overload of quirkiness--phone psychics, Tourette's, and possibly gay hit men are a lot of whimsy for one movie--but the actors commit themselves to their roles with gusto. The movie misses the bullseye that Fargo hit, but fans of macabre comedy may enjoy The Big White. --Bret Fetzer

 Great movie. February 1, 2010
K. Gray (Corinth, MS USA)
This movie is a dark comedy. It's very funny. I love all the players in this. I've watched it 3 times. It's just a great movie.
I love it!! January 9, 2010
L. Hemme (Lancaster, CA USA)
I found the movie to be very charming with a suprise ending that is actually exactly as it should be!
Dark Comedy May 19, 2009
Jeremy Abbott
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.
 great shipper .....horrible movie May 18, 2009

What can I say, other than, when building your Blu-Ray Library, how can you go wrong for $4.99? Decent flick.....
