3/10

Chuck O'Leary

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.

Clint Morris

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

David Cornelius

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

Jeffrey M. Anderson

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

Matthew Turner

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

March of the Penguins was funnier and edgier.

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