The Big Fat Stone

Call me crazy… but I love Canadian movies. I think that there's nothing like watching a movie filled with Canadian actors. I prefer watching Canadian movies than watching Hollywood Oscar winning movies… but that's only me. Anyway, as a Canadian movies fan, I really enjoyed this movie.. I enjoyed the acting very much. Loved the script and especially the fact that the film had two different stories and only at the end all seemed to come to a light but actually left us with questions about what we may think the conclusion really was and why. The only reason I don't give this movie a 10 score, is because I didn't like the fact that D'Angelo pretended the plot happens in New York and not in Canada, but I guess that this is show biz

So I have watched Big Fat Stone a few days ago. Did I love that movie? Well… I must admit that I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the film was thrilling, dramatic and comic, and if you are looking for pure entertainment then that movie would probably meet your expectations. But on the other hand I was disappointed from the low level of the production.

Although I don't expect much from independent films, this time I hoped for more. Maybe this is because I have watched Real Gangsters only about a month ago and I loved that movie so much that I hoped D'Angelo will have more budget this time…

But the movie itself was good - The cast are amazing and the story is beautiful and yet something was missing

Finally got to watch it. I have watched it yesterday on Bell TV and pretty liked it, having said that… I can understand some of the negative results it got. The movie is well shot, visually enticing with good acting. I love those guys - Robert Loggia, Steven Ray Abruzzo, Nick Mancuso, Tony Nardi and all the others… Frank D'Angelo was also particularly good in his role. Yet, you could feel that this movie is a low budget movie. It seems like they made so many small mistakes such as continuity issues and others. For those of you who are looking for "nothing but a pure entertainment" this one is definitely the one as it has all you need for a nice evening with your date/spouse. You will enjoy the plot and not even for a moment you will be bored, but for those of you who are looking for perfection, well… I don't think this one is for you.

I've heard so much about this movie and finally got to see it. I have watched it on Bell TV, with my wife and we both have enjoyed this movie very much. We enjoyed the plot, the intensity of the scenes and of the characters, we laughed at some of the scenes and my wife cried at others (women…)

The only problem I see is that I couldn't tell exactly what genre this movie is…It is written as a drama but has some characters of a mob film, and yet, this is definitely not classic mob film. Although I sort of like that fact… I find it as confusing. After all, I wanted to watch that movie from the first place, but if I was looking for a classic drama I would definitely disappointed.

Hi all, This is my first review ever, and please accept my apology but I'm not familiar with the industry jargon… I watched the movie Big Fat Stone after reading some of the reviews here, and I did not know what to expect due to the mixed opinions. Luckily Big Fat Stone did not disappoint me. As mentioned before, I am not an expert in writing reviews… so I'll just write my honest opinion about this movie: The plot is nice, the movie is well shot, the music is fantastic. I also liked the chemistry of the entire cast. Having said that, I felt that some of the actors played a bit over dramatic and not natural. Yet, I enjoyed it due to the beautiful script that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Overall I enjoyed watching this movie, and I recommend you to watch it.
