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. Maybe the story and the plot aren't fully developed and has some holes on them, but all that is very well balanced with a great direc... read more

The Big White was a big mistake.
So it isn't one of Robin Williams best work, although I can say that Holly Hunter was the funniest of them all.

I recommend it. I think it has a great humor and the I love Holly Hunter and Robin Williams. I think the actors did a great performance and the plot is interesting and catching. The whole environment is pretty amazing since is shot in Alaska. Definitely worth seeing it.

This movie is verry funny and verry underrated. It's Dark. It's a Dark comedy. If your a fan of coen brother type of comedy's you should deff. give this a look. I going to sin here and say I enjoyed this more than Fargo.

A fantastic black comedy with hilarious performances by Robin Williams, Holly Hunter and Giovanni Ribisi, while also a pretty good thriller that does a good job at giving each character substance and making them relatable.
Critic Reviews
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.
It's one of those movies that wants to be hip, but winds up being irritating in a pretentious, poseur sort of way. Full Review
Though it's better than Robin Williams' recent theatrical hit R.V., it still doesn't quite click. Full Review
a very good and underrated little movie, full of black comedy, clever coincidences and plot twists Full Review
Enjoyably quirky thriller with bizarre, off-the-wall performances from its entire cast and some striking location work. Full Review
March of the Penguins was funnier and edgier. Full Review
