Reviews for Big Night
A charming, delicate repast prepared by Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott.
A feast of a film done on a low budget with a menu featuring top-grade acting, writing and direction.
As delicately and deliciously prepared as the dishes it features, Big Night is a lyric to the love of food, family and persuasive acting.
When it comes to seeing Big Night, two words say it all: Bon appetite!
It will paste a big, sloppy smile on your face from its opening moment. Good luck at dislodging it.
Stanley Tucci's surprise cinematic brainchild fills you up with its audacious originality.
By the end of the movie, we have been through an emotional and a sensual wringer, in a film of great wisdom and delight.
