The Big Fat Stone

I'm writing this review after reading some of the other reviews here, and it seems like viewers either love it or hate it. So I loved it, but at the same time I can understand some of the bad reviews. I watched this movie a few days ago, and the reason I didn't write until now, is because I believe a good movie "stays" in your head for a few days after you watch it, and surprisingly, Big Fat Stone has been stuck in my head for the past few days, especially because of the ending. I actually found myself thinking about it and wondering what did D'Angelo mean by this ending… And that's the reason I loved that movie. However, on the other side, the acting was good but not excellent, you could see that this is a low budget production and I may even say an immature one. To sum up – the script is good, and overall I have enjoyed this movie, so if you are looking for a cute movie, it worth a shot!

I just finished watching Big fat stone after reading some of the reviews here. Like many of you, I also didn't know what to expect due to the mixed opinions… and like many of you I liked that movie BUT at the same time I can't rate it more than a 6…

Why? Let's start with the good things - The cinematography was good. The acting is superb and even minor roles are detailed and convincing.

However, I found the plot as a bit of a mess. You don't really understand what is the connections between the two stories and it seems like a lot of information is missing.

Other than that the movie was good, but script is a big component in my opinion...

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.

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.

Big Fat Stone is well-written and beautifully shot. When one considers how this movie was made and for what it was made, I am all the more impressed. The acting is well-done, even down to the bit characters. I was particularly impressed with Frank D'Angelo since that was the first time I saw him as an actor.

I liked the movie Big Fat Stone, but I think the plot was too emotional. In some of the scenes it felt like telenovela. I know that this is a drama, and therefore it has too bee too emotional, but I think it was way too much. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie and I recommend you to watch it if you have the chance.
