Bigger Than the Sky

This could have been a decent movie, but the lead actor is SO bad. He's surrounded by Patty Duke, John Corbett, Amy Smart, and Sean Astin.

Kind of hits home, if you are normal run of the mill guy that has hit middle age and life has been tough, this is one movie one can relate to. Has an excellent cAst, John Corbett is wonderful as always, John never seems to be acting, it feels as if he is just playing the character with ease.

Okay, I was surprised, and surprised. This movie was a bargain basement DVD for me purchased together with a number of formerly unknown titles by moi.

I am almost the nerd guy in his movie. Even though I am a scientist, while in graduate school in the 1960s virtually fell into a student stage production, all 28 performances that ran for 4 weeks.

While discussing this earnestly contrived comedic melodrama that he scripts and in part produces, Michigan playwright Rodney Vaccaro states that the scenario results from a reaction to the "9-11" occurrences, and that his intention here is to create a romantic detailing of events that will provide a storyline antithetical to the violence that marbles our lives, while including his fondness for community based non-professional theatre as apt background for the narrative. Peter Rucker (Marcus Thomas), a graphic designer with a marked personality deficit, is attempting to reconstitute his life after his girl friend has left him, doing so primarily through reading of self-help books, but is additionally attracted by a community theatre near to his place of employment that is advertising its auditions for Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, and since Peter's freshly imposed solitude has resulted in a surfeit of free time during his evenings, he determines to try out for a small part in the classic play.

What do you do when the color suddenly leaves your already beige life? When your girlfriend dumps you because you are dull and boring?

Enjoyable Independent romantic comedy.

I am shocked that *anyone* is praising this film. This is a classic example of what happens when actors with real potential (proved or otherwise) work with an obviously terrible director and editor.

I personally did not like this film as the acting,with few exceptions was stilted and very poor quality. Jeff Corbin being the main exception.
