Featured reviews
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...

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.

I watched the movie BIG Fat Stone lately, and it wasn't bad at all. I have read some of the reviews here and didn't know what to expect (due to the mixed opinions) and luckily it wasn't a waste of time at all.
I enjoyed the plot very much. I think the actors played very well. Especially I enjoyed the gangsters 'scenes. The chemistry of the cast is fantastic and made me laugh a lot.
The only thing that had upset me was the ending. I hate these kinds of ending. I won't be a spoiler, so I can't tell you why but I was very disappointed.
Overall - this is a good movie and most of the reviewers love the ending... I do recommend you to watch it

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.
