THE BIG KAHUINA lives up to its name. First off, unlike many comedies where a bunch of people are thrown together just to bounce jokes off each other, the Big Kahuna shows us the 3 characters feelings, inner emotions, and past. THEN AND THEN ONLY can we fully appreciate the jokes that are spoken. We feel like we truly get to know these people. We see excellent character interaction, and all the actors are WONDERFUL in this film. DeVito portrays his character excellently, but my favorite was Kevin Spacey's character. He fit RIGHT into the role of his character.
I think THE BIG KAHUNA is also the only film I've ever seen with only 3 cast members (4 if you count the bell boy). Although low-budget, THE BIG KAHUNA delivers a massive blow to all those cheap, crude comedies out there today. I'm very satisfied and pleased I had the honor of seeing one of the best films of 1999. 3.5/5 stars--
