Big Fan
A man-child who lives and breathes the New York Giants, still at home with his mother in his mid-thirties, gets his ass kicked at a strip club by his favorite player: a true test of loyalty. Some amusing bits and pieces (the rough drafts of his nightly sports-talk phone calls and the stumbling delivery of these over the air), but not sharpened to much of an edge or much of a point. Most of the time it's hard to know whether the movie is even meant to be a comedy, despite having the pudgy stand-up comic Patton Oswalt in the lead role, and despite the gleeful ridicule. With Kevin Corrigan, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Matt Servitto, and Michael Rapaport; written and directed by Robert Siegel. 2009.
