A travel agent in deep debt attempts to swindle a by-the-books insurance agent by claiming the corpse of a gangland hit as his long-missing brother in director Mark Mylod's dark crime comedy. Paul Barnell (Robin Williams) is in trouble.

Snowed under by misjudgment on every level, The Big White is DOA.
Never completely finds its balance.
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.
Though it doesn't have the subtlety, complexity, and measured wit of Fargo and doesn't seem to say as much about the human condition, as a simple black comedy The Big White is great fun.
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
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.
Its a weirdly good film with funny and unbelievable bits i think its sort of dark humour but its weird and heart warming as its gives erfect reasons for why robin williams did wat he did with twist unvieling at every moment so worth a watch

A very good movie, a black comedy you really can enjoy. I follows the same formula of the Cohen brothers film Fargo, but not with the same impact.
