BIG NOTHING [2006]

David Schwimmer, Simon Pegg & Alice Eve are three bumbling losers trying their hand at crime in Jean-Baptiste Andrea's crime caper Big Nothing.
The film starts off a little bumpy as it finds difficulty in perfecting the balance of it's off-kilter black comedy but as soon as things start to spiral out of control for the trio the ball starts rolling and doesn't let up until the credits roll.  For being quite good friends in real life, Schwimmer & Pegg's onscreen chemistry is a little awkward and hurts the humorous moments a bit until Eve's character comes in and bridges the gap quite nicely. It's got it's huge flaws but all in all, Big Nothing is good, twisted fun.
