This film, which I had never heard of, suddenly appeared on late night TV and completely caught me by surprise. It marks, I think, the initial meeting of David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg (Schwimmer subsequently directed Pegg in Run Fatboy Run) and an early appearance of Alice Eve (She's Out Of Your League), with decent supporting turns from the likes of Natasha McElhone and Mimi Rogers.Ostensibly a story of a couple of small timers and a girlfriend looking to indulge in a little blackmail, it turns into the very blackest of comedies - violent and bloody and very funny - as everything which could go wrong goes wrong, and then some more goes wrong besides.Schwimmer, for once, leaves his whiny Ross persona behind him, Pegg takes on a character which is a great deal less sympathetic than his customary good natured and very British loser, and Eve is sexy and luminously gorgeous (and also extremely funny).I don't know how come this film got so anonymised, but it is well worth searching out.

David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg hit a new low in this supposed black comedy. Alice Eve not only gets to act in this unbelievably contrived film, but confirms that she cannot act. There is so much wrong here, but it starts with a simpleminded script about an extortion scheme gone wrong. Everything about "Big Nothing" is annoying. The script is so bad that what has already been seen is constantly being explained. Along with the horrendous acting, the unnecessary camera effects and headache inducing split screens, characters appear out of nowhere with zero development. You will be living with the fast forward button, if you insist on getting to the end of this abomination. - MERK

Rarely has a film title so perfectly summed up a film. This is a Big Nothing.It is hard to say the jokes weren't funny because there weren't any. There was in fact nothing almost nothing funny in this film.Alice Eve, who I'd never heard of, delivers a reasonable comic performance while Pegg and Schwimmer flounder about unsure whether to be joking or serious at any given moment.The directing is terrible with the change from slapstick to drama happening is a very jarring and annoying way.The writing is poor, with neither the drama or the humour being worth watching and the dialogue is dull at best.The plot is a mixture of movie clichés with nothing added.The film isn't even worth hating but it is worth avoiding.

IMDb rightfully says I must have at least 10 lines,This maybe could have been a better movie. if ALL all the following things occurred..Better writing,better acting, better production values & most important better Editing.The director was Jean-Baptiste Andrea. He also co-wrote the convoluted,confusing not even one bit mildly amusing script.Compounding this unfunny so-called comedy of errors,is the running time, It runs 80 minutes before 5 minutes of credits, This 80 minutes seem like twice the length.The film features David Schwimmer, David usually performs well, not in this mess though. Simon Pegg who usually shines in a role is dreadfully miscast. Alice Eve is the top billed actress here. Jon Polito a fine character actor is not good at all.The rest of cast is of same quality.The title is most appropriate:BIG NOTHINGThis was made in Jan 2006, & just had its first US release on DVD July 2009. It did have a disastrous theatre run in the UK. one weekend in 2007 in 106 houses.This is not even worth a showing on TV .Ratinggs: 1/2* out of 4 --15 points out of 100---IMDB- 1 out or 10
