Rick and Morty (TV Series) Big Trouble in Little Sanchez (2015) User Reviews

Two Cents

[Melvis-Preston · 9/10 · 4 January 2019]

Probably the episode in which the A and B storylines are best used as parallels for the different dynamics which makes Rick and Morty such a successful show and captures the Simpsons-esque writing which makes it appeal to such a broad audience. The A storyline, with Rick becoming Tiny Rick and going back to High School, gives all the superficial, 1-dimensional jokes that are easy to digest and fuel the meme culture that appeal to a wider and younger audience. The B storyline, which explores the hilarious and complicated marriage between Beth and Jerry - as beautiful and complex a relationship as any on TV - expanding the much loved lore that keeps longer-term and older viewers coming back for more. Not the best episode but far from the worst. A worthy episode of a great series.

B plot surpasses the A plot

The tiny Rick storyline never sat right with me. I never really cared for it and frankly thought it was boring!

However the B-plot surpassed EVERY expectation i had. It was funny, unique, suspenseful and there was no Rick involved. Would have loved to see this as an entire episode insted of having to follow through with the boring A-plot.

John Hughes would be proud!

Not many shows can pull off coming of age angst, with High concept Sci-Fi delightfulness. The Episode reminds us there is still more to learn about young adult life, while maintaining the thoughts of abolishing those ideas. As a Genre episode it's both thought provoking, and incredibly entertaining.

Tiny Rick

[amindostiari · 10/10 · 26 January 2021]

One of the best episodes that was very interesting. The story followed in two directions and was very interesting. Tiny Rick was also very cool. Jerry and Beth also had an interesting story.

Alien Resurrection reference

Husband and I loved it with all the references to Alien Resurrection.

One of season 2's weaker moments

[michaelopez-60624 · 7/10 · 6 June 2021]

So far season 2 of Rick and Morty has been an absolute blast. However, this episode feels like more of a one trick pony than anything else. Seeing Tiny Rick is funny at first and makes for a few good gags but they don't really do anything all that special with him.

The B-plot with Beth and Jerry, imo, is completely disposable if entertaining nonetheless. That being said, the end and post-credits scene and really funny and the Elliott Smith reference is based and indiepilled.
