Big Nothing is a wonderfully daft film

Big Nothing

Director: Jean-Baptiste Andrews

Cast: David Schwimmer, Alice Eve, Simon Pegg, Natascha McElhone

Cert: 15

So what could possibly go wrong?

Just about everything in what turns out to be a fun film with, albeit, a pretty mixed-up plotline.

And for once Schwimmer – who has never quite built a decent film career on the back of the long-running Friends – emerges with a lot of credit as the writer husband of cop McElhone who feels he isn’t as useful as he might be.

He gets a job in a call centre and joins in a money-making scam. Only the ill-fated project swiftly falls apart, and even the little broken pieces fragment.

The pace is terrific and everybody looks as if they enjoyed being part of a wonderfully daft film.

Star Rating: 4/5
