i have watched this film last week.movies are about run interestingly with some valuable information that should be a guideline to people. in other words to make things straight, i agree this movie is about a hardcore football fan who thinks a particular team is his life to live, remaining everything in this world, even his family is meant northing to him,i agree most of the guys are having their lifestyle in this manner like they showed in this movie. but the sad thing is director of the movie is trying to prove whatever the character(Paul) is doing in this right this is the wrong message to a society. the director should have clearly stated that whoever living the lifestyle of the character(Paul) will be a loser in his whole life, the society,the whole world even the team will treat him like a loser. the suitable title for this film would be loser,and all the losers have to watch this movie and don't take this movie in a positive attitude consider as a negative apart from that the acting is natural nice bottom line worth a watch with a positive attitude

"Big Fan" is about Paul (Patton Oswalt) who is a really big fan of the New York Giants. It's a simple premise and one that you think you see on a regular basis. But this movie is different because we really meet Paul, on a very personal level. We see everything in his life that makes him who he is. Even though Paul takes the word "fanatic" to a very serious level, he's accessible and it seems very real. It's really slow moving because we basically just follow Paul around as he lives his very lowly life, everything revolving around the Giants, and listens to sports talk radio. I was completely riveted. This is a character study at the highest level. It doesn't use sex or drugs or big-budget action to get us interested, only Paul himself. And a little bit of football talk. This is a darkly comic, but also very real, introspection of a sports fan. Every aspect of Paul had thought put into including interactions with and characteristics of all his family members and friend(s). "Big Fan" is the best mix of character study and sports, written at a very high level. The director and screenwriter, Robert Siegel, also wrote "The Wrestler" which I was not a big fan of. Although it was critically acclaimed, I feel that "Big Fan" actually accomplishes what "The Wrestler" was supposed to - a soul-fulfilling examination of what sports can do to some people. The humour echos the realness and intelligence found in the The Onion - Siegel was an editor in chief. That should just reinforce the recommendation to see this movie.

How big is the small independent movie "Big Fan"? Well if you are a fervent football fan, then to certain extents you will relate to the film's protagonist Paul Aufiero; a die hard New York Giants fan whose life revolves around following the pigskin team and one of its star players Linebacker Quantrell Bishop. If you are not a football aficionado, then my daring prediction is that you will still be taken by its narrative's character study on obsession as a way of life. So "Big Fan" did not make big bucks at the box office. So what! It still sacked plenty of dynamic film-making richness in Writer-Director Robert Siegel's brilliant look on one man's fixation for his favorite football team. Patton Oswalt's marvelous performance as Aufiero was of thespian Pro Bowl caliber. Oswalt fired away sorry maybe wrong choice of words for JFK Stadium Philly fans. What I meant to say is that Oswalt scores high with his portrayal of a sports nut who spends most of his working day as a park attendant writing discourse for his ritual nightly call-in to a sports radio talk show. Aufiero, near 40, still lives with his whining mother. His injury attorney brother Jeff, Jeff's archetypical New York attorney wife Gina, and Paul's other sibling Christine think that Paul is an immature "get a life" slacker whose New York Giants worship has caused him brain damage. Even though Paul's family is not on the "They Might Be Giants" team, they still love him and what him to flourish professionally & personally. The plot of "Big Fan" takes a stalking play-call turn when Auferio follows the Bishop to a Strip Club (somehow that does not sound right) and the Linebacker does an off-the-field "unsportsmanlike penalty" play by beating the crapola out of Paul. However, the deranged Aufiero does not intercept Bishop's playing career by pressing charges against the millionaire footballista. Kevin Corrigan's exceptional performance as Paul's Giants-Loving best buddy Sal well complimented Oswalt's Aufiero. This rocking "They Are Most Certainly Giants" duo were a big hit during their shared screen time. Michael Rapaport flew like an eagle in his brief scene-stealing supporting performance as the obnoxious Philadelphia Eagles fan Phil, which in some odd way could be classified as the villain of "Big Fan". Other supporting performances that tailgated the aforementioned fine acting of the film was carried by Marcia Jean Kurtz as Paul's Mom, Gino Cafarelli as brother Jeff, and Serafina Fiore as Gina. Siegel's game plan on the writing & direction of "Big Fan" was fantastic with its authenticity, creativity, and connectivity. And what an original trick plot play does Siegel call during the 4th Quarter of this movie! You just gotta see it! But at the end of the game, it was General Patton Oswalt's mesmeric starring performance that enamored me the most to be a big fan of "Big Fan". ***** Excellent

Well Patton Oswalt is a funny guy. I like his comedy and he's got a unique personality. This film is not exactly funny. It's written by the guy who wrote The Wrestler and its similar to it in many ways. He also directs for the first time and it's like he just followed the same mood that Darron Aronofsky used. Here we got the guy who's a football nut calling into to a radio show to boost his ego because he lives with his mom, he has one friend he hangs out with and they go to watch football in the parking lot of the NY Giants because they can't afford to get in. He's the Big Fan of the quarterback of the Giants and calls in to the local radio show to talk trash about any team playing them. Especially the Philly Eagles. HE practices his calls while working his crappy job as a parking lot attendant. The film drags a bit and the highlight is when he confronts a Phillies fan with a grudge. He's a loser going nowhere. And that is his goal. As well as that of the film. Now, where the Wrestler told an underdog story about a guy trying to get back in the game after his life turns out bad and lonely. This film is about resisting any change no matter how sorry the situation. I so want to like Patton doing a dark comedy, a little more humor and some kind of character build would have helped and proved Patton can act. It fizzles away before I can even decide what to think about it.

I suppose I may be a little bias since Quantrell Bishop (Jonathan Hamm) is my step-son, but I really enjoyed the movie. Just one "Goof" in the movie......no major. If I recall correctly, when Paul meets Philadelphia Phil in the bar, he tells him that his name is Mark. However in the restroom seen a few moments later, Philadelphia Phil calls him Paul. Hmmmm I may have missed this one, but I almost sure that it happened this way. All in all the movie was a good mixture of humor, and the characters played well off of each other. I like the way the Director managed to create the realism of the football scenes with the actors in the parking lot. Very creative

Maybe whoever thought of this dumb story was bored, or maybe the art of the sports movie is dying fast. This is easily the very worst in Sports Film I have EVER seen. I would rather have a root canal done than watch this garbage...and I am a HUGE fan of NFL football..as obsessive as the next one, I live in England and keep season tix for the 49ers, that kind of obsessive, so anything thats comedic and be relevant to football fandom would be of special interest to me. This is an utterly inconsequential film with absolutely no story or no funny moments whatsoever...it is a seriously painful experience and if you love either movies or sports AVOID it..and if you love movies AND sports...this film really is nothing like what it's supposed to be..great potential but the most dullest, mind drenching film I have seen in years. Brief Synopsis: Obsessed Giants fan, lives with his mother, works as a parking attendant, gets assaulted the football player he idolises, fan plays an incredibly meaningless prank, THE END. I actually believe my synopsis is more entertaining than the film . But sure, if you have 90 minutes you want to waste of your life, do go see it. personally, i'd rather play Soduku on the toilet.

A combination of the awesomeness of The Wrestler and the terrifying mood of the trailer brought me to this movie. Robert Siegal has his eyes on sports, but he's not making the feel-good sports movies about the American Dream and hope winning over the underdog. His sports movie is the world of self-destruction, or in this case, of ultimate passion met with ultimate lack of ambition, as he explores the life of a person with absolutely no motivation but for what serves his team. Patton Oswalt plays Paul Aufiero, a man who loves his New York Giants. He loves the Giants so much, in fact, that he has nothing else in his life. He lives with his mother, he has no intention of getting a girlfriend, he has a dead end job that he's nevertheless completely satisfied with, and he does nothing all day but think up some excited rants to give out on his local fan radio station and drive to the Giants ballpark to support them (though not monetarily, as he just watches the television in the parking lot). When he and his one and only friend Sal (Kevin Corrigan) see the Giants' quarterback Bishop getting gas, they decide to follow him to get a chance to meet him. Unfortunately, their lack of social grace and a miscommunication results in a violent confrontation and Paul ends up in the hospital, Bishop cannot play anymore, and the season--and thus Paul's sense of reality and self-esteem--go down the tubes in rather short order. I was expecting disturbing drama but a lot of this movie is actually quite comedic, and it seems to me that Siegal is mostly working character portrait this time around. The good thing is that Paul Aufiero is neither a caricature of sports fans in general, nor does he stand-in for, for instance, Giants fans or anything like that. He is entirely his own individual character, and it's the lack of familiarity with him that gives most of the drama since it makes his decisions quite unpredictable. However, Siegal is, between The Wrestler and Big Fan, obviously great at creating empathy for his characters, so the drama definitely draws you in. I would have preferred a darker story simply because that is what I went in expecting, but it turns out that even the more comedic moments really do make sense in terms of who Paul is and what he would do in those situations. In the end, the movie is surprisingly nonjudgmental about his decisions, and he still manages to lose the all of nothing he had and still be happy (because he needs nothing else). So, good for Paul? The movie itself is certainly a win. --PolarisDiB

I'm sorry to disappoint all of this movie-fans (8.0 on this???!), but i really see no point on this film. An idiot football-fan, who got beat up by his hero, who didn't want to get money, he is very poor and have no life, and all of this so his "hero" can play on the football team or not to get sued? And then, throwing ink like a child at the other guy and run? Stay in jail very happy? Maybe i've missed the point of the movie, that maybe stands for "yeah, be a football-idiot-dumb-poor- frustrated-fan, American dream!!!!" I want that hour and half back to my life, please! So, so so bad movie.... there's not any lesson on this film, it's really dumb, honest. peace out
