Hardly the next big thing to hit theaters.
05/31/02
The female characters, with the exception of Britton, tend toward vulgar and the men register at various degrees of obnoxiousness.
09/09/02
The concept is simple, even irresistible, but Posner's dishearteningly unsophisticated treatment itself rings false.

08/12/05
Squandering a potentially juicy subject for ridicule, the film simply doesn't have the wit necessary to do it justice, relying instead on obvious jokes and stereotypical characterizations.
06/03/02
The send-up here is relatively weak
08/23/02
A feeble and tedious satire on the New York art scene.
06/14/02
Top CriticThe sweet romantic comedy overwhelms the satirical bitterness, producing a fluffy, pleasant, instantly forgettable picture that feels more than a little behind the times.
05/30/02
Irritatingly cutesy and self-satisfied on top of it all, making the picture something of an endurance test besides being a misfire.
06/13/02
A clever, amusing parody of the New York art scene that's about something much bigger.
05/16/02
An amusing, light-hearted satire of a Manhattan art world.
08/23/02
[Eigeman's] driving insistence to reach some meaningful point with his Gus pushes The Next Big Thing into otherwise undeserved success.
06/10/02
A deftly satisfying, comically coherent sendup of the world of art.
05/29/02
No review available.
11/25/02
Set amongst the spoiled and the starving in New York, The Next Big Thing pits artistic intelligence against a pleasantly simple love story
