Customer Reviews of The Big Kahuna

The Big Picture
This film poses a unique scenario: three salesmen with different backgrounds, philosophies, and values,trying to sell an industrial lubricant to the infamous, yet never seen Mr.Fuller. The storyline is simple and concise. Based on a play by Roger Rueff, The Big Kahuna presents the audience with various moral, ethical, and religious contradictions. The youthful and somewhat naive character played by Peter Facinelli has strong religious convictions, thus making himself an easy target for the older, satirical character played by Kevin Spacey. The verbal sparring Spacey and Facinelli engage in concerning the ethics of religion and salemanship is thought-provoking. The debate deals with "selling religion" and the importance of distinguishing between making a sales pitch for a religion, in this case Christianity, and simply sharing thoughts and personal philosophies. This movie questioned the motive behind the everyday things we do and say and how that motive influences others. It forces viewers to reevaluate their stance on religion, if any, and how they share personal views with others.

Kevin spacey was right!"This is it?This is f****** it?"

Well I was in a video store one time and my father showed it to me one saturday night as my friends were coming over.but they didnt wanna watch so i watched it.In the middle I FELL ASLEEP!when it was over i claimed "this is boring."

If you are going to watch a good Danny Devito movie,watch "Throw Momma from the train",or "twins" etc.

hidden hero of the USA
From outside, the USA are seen roughly like a big factory of cowboys and with a powerful army and high skyscrapers. But I think at a more fine level, in these enormous buildings are a personage I think very own of the USA, and he's the salesman, the businessmen, the manager or as you like to say, the man who has to sell the enormous amount of products that are made. These work seems to me as hard as these of the cowboy and there's "Death a salesman" by Arthur Miller, a play made forever, unthinkable outside the USA but universal, so surely the American salesman is the best. He sustains the whole world of commerce, it's only that these people uses not to taste. In Europe these work reminds the painful figure of the prosecuted Jew. Sales seems to be not a heroic work and they are worrying people. Well, in this movie, there are three salesmen, one has yet seen almost all and he's tired and prone to drink, another is a young one, inexperienced and narrow minded. Kevin Spacey, the third, is a fully experienced salesman. They sell industrial lubricants but, who are interested in these? Nobody, and the three men in the Hotel Suite less than anyone in the world excepting perhaps the young one because he hasn't still understood in that consists his work. Sales require decision, so, you sometimes have to go to a striptease club and make love with the dancer at sight of all people. No wonder this a weary work! The young one are scandalized, but after a tense conversation the three men have learned each one at less a thing or two from the others because behind their profession are people who achieves a difficult, hazardous, ultracompetitive work that requires knowledge of all facets of life, not in deep but yes in a very wide area including the selection of the correct hotel and convenient appetizers. At the end, have they sold these damned lubricants to the Big Kahuna? I don't know, perhaps yes, perhaps not and these doesn't matter in this excellent film.
