An film that takes place almost entirely in one room, might not sound like a captivating idea. Filling that room (a hotel suite) with Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Peter Facinelli, The Big Kahuna takes much from the play the film is based on, and offers up some very interesting relationships, that allow the characters to delve into everything from marriage and faith, to integrity and mortality. The performances are amazing, and if you can get past the daunting setting, the dialogue more than makes up for the blandness in the surroundings.
