Overview
The story of how a mysterious suitcase brings together, and changes, the lives of a divorced dad, an unhappy housewife, two hitmen, a pair of street thugs, two love struck teens, two FBI men and a psychedelic toad. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry's best-selling first novel, "Big Trouble."
This was a middling attempt at an action/comedy movie – think “Snatch”, but not within ten miles of being as good. What makes this all the more disappointing is that there is an amazing cast here, and the movie is still thoroughly mediocre.
