The Big Thing

About This Movie

So, 'The Big Thing' is this quirky little gem that dives into the absurdity of life through the antics of Mo and Ned, a pair of free-spirited hippies. They stumble into a suburban wedding a week late, and honestly, the chaos that ensues is just delightful. The film's pacing is all over the place, which actually adds to its charm - you can really feel the carefree vibe. Plus, the practical effects have this handmade quality that fits right in with the '70s aesthetic. The performances are a bit over the top, but it kind of works with the off-kilter atmosphere. It's distinctive for its unapologetic silliness and how it pokes fun at societal norms.

Finding a copy of 'The Big Thing' can be quite the challenge, as it seems to have slipped through the cracks over the years. I've seen a few VHS tapes pop up, but they’re rare, and the DVD release is practically non-existent. Collector interest has been growing lately, especially among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from that era. It’s definitely one to keep an eye on if you're into lesser-known cinematic curiosities.
