Movie Preview: Patton Oswalt in Big Fan
BuzzSugar —
... When I saw that this indie drama featured Patton Oswalt in the lead role, I scratched my head a bit. I've come to associate Oswalt with the funny projects (and with Ratatouille) but by the time I was done watching the trailer for Big Fan, I'd completely forgotten who Patton Oswalt was. In the movie, Oswalt transforms into Paul Aufiero, a New York Giants megafan whose life starts to spin out of control after he's assaulted by his favorite player. ...

BIG FAN (2009) Review
The Moviezzz Blog —

I didn’t think it deserved to go in that direction, like a few scenes were missing. However the way the sequence played out was just about perfect. While THE WRESTLER is the better film, BIG FAN is one of the best films of 2009. BIG FAN will be opening in NY and LA on August 28. For opening dates, visit their website. ...

Patton Oswalt, Comedian
Gothamist —
... Patton Oswalt has built himself up as one of the most well-respected stand-ups in his twenty-plus year career. He is a definitive "comic's comic," always refining and plugging away at his stand-up act—his most recent special being played on Comedy Central. Today marks the opening of his first star turn as the lead role in the darkly comic Big Fan, written and directed by the same screenwriter who wrote The Wrestler. Oswalt carries the film through it's brooding, modernist character study of a Staten Island Giant fanatic who lives with his mother and ...

Big Fan The decent obliging thing to do if you've seen Robert Siegel 's Big Fan is to give it a pass. If you care about independent cinema and you'd like to see a steady supply of blunt, feisty, low-budget character dramas turning up at Sundance and Toronto and Cannes for years to come, you'll put away the things that bothered or half-bothered and just say, "Okay, very cool! Love that pudgy Patton Oswalt angst and the whole lower-depths, lower-middle-class New Jersey loser thing...love the grayness, the bleakness and the spirit-deflating self-loathing...love the shitty ...
