Now Present on Blu-Ray Disc
On the brink of bankruptcy, Alaska travel agent Paul Barnell cooks up a projection to pass off a dead body as his long-lost brother, Raymond, and then gather together on his life insurance. But unfortunately, the investigator isn't buying the scam, the hit men responsible for the bulk want it back -- so they kidnap Paul's Tourette's afflicted the missis -- and, to top it all off, Raymond shows up demanding a piece of action. So much for acquiescent money...
In The Big Pasty, a failing Alaskan travel agent hopes he's found the answer to his problems when a match up of thugs leave a dead body in a dumpster outside his firm. The lack of a body has prevented Paul Barnell (Robin Williams, The Birdcage, One Hour Photo) from claiming his missing fellow-creature's life insurance. Unfortunately, the thugs who dumped the body in the first place (Tim Blake Nelson, O Kin, Where Art Thou?, and W. Earl Brown, Deadwood) want it back, so they kidnap Barnell's helpmeet (Holly Hunter, Raising Arizona), who may or may not have Tourette's Syndrome. Meanwhile, an unshakable insurance agent (Giovanni Ribisi, Saving Private Ryan) smells something piscine and thinks he's found the case that will get him and his phone psychic girlfriend (Alison Lohman, Caucasian Oleander) transferred to warmer climes, and Barnell's long-missing sibling (Woody Harrelson, White Men Can't Jump) returns, a bit perturbed to learn he's cool. The Big White suffers from an overload of quirkiness--phone psychics, Tourette's, and perchance gay hit men are a lot of whimsy for one movie--but the actors commit themselves to their roles with gusto. The big misses the bullseye that Fargo hit, but fans of macabre comedy may appreciate The Big White. --Bret Fetzer

Ill-lighted Comedy
This glowering comedy starring Robin Williams is actually pretty funny. I don't know what expectations some people may have had for this, but I didn't really expect much, and I was therefore pleasantly surprised. Tim Blake Nelson is solely funny in his unfortunately small role in the film. Giovanni Ribisi does well with the r of the insurance claims investigator. If you are expecting a typical Robin Williams comedy, or even something along the lines of his roles in Insomnia or One Hour Photo, you will be thwarted. This movie is nothing like those roles, and if dark comedies are not up your alley, don't discomfit. If you have enjoyed other dark comedies, such as Death to Smoochy and Fargo, I don't muse over Big White is as good as those, but it is definitely funny and especially worth the low price.
