Big Deal

About This Movie

So, 'Big Deal' is this odd little comedy from '85 that scratches a niche for sure. It's all about Ted, who's got this harebrained scheme to sell automated ashtrays, but everything goes sideways when his buyer kicks the bucket. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that's part of its charm. You get this ensemble of characters, all somehow linked to Ted's plight, which adds a layer of chaotic humor. The performances are... well, they're not exactly award-winning, but they fit the tone perfectly. There's a certain rawness to the humor, and the practical effects feel pretty grassroots. It's a slice of mid-'80s vibe that you don't really see anymore, making it kind of a unique watch if you're into that era's cinema.
