It’s almost the end of the year and the end of a decade. It’s time of year for movie critics to discuss the movies they relished and the flops they struggled to watch until the end. As these discussions begin, I often reflect on the movies I have greatly enjoyed over the past decade, but there are always a couple sleepers that came back to me that must be watched regardless of when they were released.
One of the best sleepers I can think of is Big Kahuna. A fantastic, must watch movie about character, friendship, hidden motives and really putting your own actions into perspective. It is truly an introspective movie that examines people at their core.
While the movie is about twenty years old, human nature has not changed in thousands of years, so its theme remains relevant. It’s a little reminiscent of Glengarry Glen Ross, but unlike that brutal study of human nature under stress, Big Kahuna takes a softer approach and leaves the viewer more optimistic.
Watch it and please let me know what you thought.
