I really enjoyed this. As a man loves sports, real football, I totally related to Patton Oswalt and his obsession. Patton is awesome in this as the loser who gets beat up by his favourite player and struggles to deal with the fallout from this and begins to lose it.

I liked the way the ending was done. I really thought it was going down an especially dark route and the way it's handled is fantastic. The soundtrack is great and so is Patton's best mate, Kevin Corrigan.

Big Fan really encapsulates what it's like to be obsessed with your team albeit quite extreme. It's one of the best sports films of recent times and probably the best film ever done about American football.

Patton Oswald plays a man who gets beat up by his favorite football player in Robert D. Siegal's (screenwriter of The Wrestler) directorial debut. It's interesting to see Oswald in a dramatic role and he's pretty great. Needs more Kevin Corrigan though.

From time to time, as I've been laying on the sofa half looking at a sit-com, half browing the web, I've found myself thinking that this "Spence" character has something about him, and wondered it Patton Oswalt might make the step towards the more serious.

Here he plays a man not too unlike "Spence", but you get to see the other side of it. A man, with nothing else in his life, but the NY Giants. When his own social shortcomings causes him to lose even that, he falls down into a dark place.

Great acting by Oswalt, hope to see more of the same. Kevin Connolly is usually a blast, but he's very much in the background here as Oswalt's only friend. Even Michael Rappaport shows up, it's like a deranged sit-com-icon.

legitimately touching

Having already seen this once and knowing what to expect, I found this to be a lot funnier upon re-watch than most people give it credit for.

I'm surprised this got such great reviews, I was bored throughout lot of this movie, I think it's mainly because I found the lead character to be impossible to relate to, and I've never met anyone like that and have trouble believing they could exist, so maybe it depends a lot on that. I liked the premise, but I thought it went in a really unrealistic direction and avoided to an unrealistic point any growth or self reflection by the lead character.

A film that seemed like a good idea on paper.

Black comedy about a 35 year old Staten Island parking attendant who lives with his mother who claims to be the world's biggest New York Giants fan. One night he bumps into his sports idol and finds out that celebrities are not always what they seem.

I really wanted to love this movie, but I could never get into it. Wasn't a big fan of the ending either.
