Synopsis: From the creative mind of Pulitzer winner Dave Barry, comes a film following a chain of events inspired by the arrival of a mysterious suitcase in Miami. Arthur Herk, a corrupt business owner, wants to get his hands on the case. At the same time, two hit men want him whacked. Tired of his constant fixation on drinking and television, Herk’s wife Anna and daughter Jenny decide to find new love interests in divorced dad Eliot Arnold and his son Matt. Just to add more complication to this already complicated plot, two thieves decide to steal the case and lead a Miami police team and two FBI agents on a wild goose chase that ends inside the Miami airport terminal.
Personally I loved this movie…and for several reasons. The first is that I am a huge fan of pretty much anything that Tim Allen is in (I am looking forward to his directorial Debut in Crazy on the Outside). Also, I love comedy’s that use narration and pausing the film while the narrator explains it. The story is well written (since it is based on Dave Barry’s first novel Big Trouble). I highly recommend anyone and everyone renting this one!
