Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Outstanding performances are delivered by an all-star cast in this quirky black comedy centered on Paul Barnell (Robin Williams), a down on his luck Alaska travel agent who's on the brink of bankruptcy and whose beloved wife, Margaret (Holly Hunter), is on the brink of insanity. Special Features include: Behind the Scenes Featurette, and Photo Gallery.
Amazon.com:
In The Big White, a failing Alaskan travel agent hopes he's found the answer to his problems when a couple of thugs leave a dead body in a dumpster outside his business. The lack of a body has prevented Paul Barnell (Robin Williams, The Birdcage, One Hour Photo) from claiming his missing brother's life insurance. Unfortunately, the thugs who dumped the body in the first place (Tim Blake Nelson, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and W. Earl Brown, Deadwood) want it back, so they kidnap Barnell's wife (Holly Hunter, Raising Arizona), who may or may not have Tourette's Syndrome. Meanwhile, an obsessive insurance agent (Giovanni Ribisi, Saving Private Ryan) smells something fishy and thinks he's found the case that will get him and his phone psychic girlfriend (Alison Lohman, White Oleander) transferred to warmer climes, and Barnell's long-missing brother (Woody Harrelson, White Men Can't Jump) returns, a bit perturbed to learn he's dead. The Big White suffers from an overload of quirkiness--phone psychics, Tourette's, and possibly gay hit men are a lot of whimsy for one movie--but the actors commit themselves to their roles with gusto. The movie misses the bullseye that Fargo hit, but fans of macabre comedy may enjoy The Big White. --Bret Fetzer

Paul Barnell (Robin Williams) is a nearly bankrupt travel agent in Alaska who stumbles upon a dead body hidden in a dumpster. To raise money for his loving wife Margaret (Holly Hunter) who she thinks has Tourette's syndrome, Paul thinks of a brilliant idea: he has a life insurance policy on his brother who has been missing for five years and here is a nearly frozen corpse that might prove his actual "death."
"The Big White" looks like a cross between "Fargo" and "A Simple Plan." Like ... Read More

Did I say Excellent?
This is a really entertaining film.
There are a number of long involved reviews of this film so I'll just say that I really enjoyed the film. It's a funny story, that well acted by the leads, but the supporting characters are a riot.
This film does not disappoint, very quirky, a lot of fun.

I don't need much of a budget to write a review of a film, only a little bit of my time for watching and writing. That said, I'm confident that if I had "The Big White's" $16 Million budget, indie director's dream cast, and lame "Fargo" inspired script; I could have made a better and more entertaining film. My first move would have been to throw some of the budget into a major script re-write, maybe just sending the thing off to the Coen brothers themselves for a quick IQ transfusion.

This film is a Coen Brothers wannabe. Quirky characters abound, and there are two dead bodies. The characters and the plot are very interesting, especially with heavy hitters like Robin Williams, Holly Hunter, and Woody Harrelson.
The climactic scene ties up all the loose ends in a neat and tidy package, but I found the staging quite artificial and contrived, for which I am docking the movie's rating. A man passes a dead body he finds in a dumpster off as his brother, who has been missing ... Read More

Robin Williams and Holly Hunter are always great, but the supporting parts make the movie. Very intriguing and surprising story line. Not for young children.
