It doesn't matter how much he pirouettes, paces, prowls and postures, there's something just a tad too effete about Spacey's performance to make Larry as dangerous a presence as he needs to be.

You probably don't need to run out to a theater to see The Big Kahuna.

The performances are first-rate, particularly that of DeVito as The Big Kahuna's version of Willy Loman.

The destination is well worth the sometimes baffling and tedious journey.

Definitely worth a look.

A well-acted if very stagy adaptation of Roger Rueff's play Hospitality Suite, The Big Kahuna offers lessons that might apply quite nicely to Arthur Miller's pathetic pavement pounder.

It's no meal, but it'll tide you over.

Spacey and DeVito are at the top of their game.

It makes exactly the point that is the opposite of the point it thought it was making: Acting isn't enough.

Kahuna has great acting and sizzling dialogue.

| Jan 1, 2000

It's smart, funny and insightful and it's quite easy to see what attracted the stars to it.

Despite my reservations about Spacey's performance, the film is generally very well acted.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Sometimes good, or even almost-great acting, isn't enough.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Sharp-edged, perfectly timed, funny and thoughtful.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

If you're prepared to accept an inherent staginess that gradually fades as the film progresses, you can become caught up in a drama of extraordinary power and insight.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

What a charge it is to see the way these three actors get loose and play off each other.
