Day 42 and I watched Big Fan. Big Fan stars Patton Oswalt who is a NY Giants fan of great proportions. He calls a midnight radio show all the time and him and his friend, played by Kevin Corrigan, go to games all the time to watch their favorite team. From the parking lot. At first, it's easy to like Patton's character, he's kind of a loser and he really loves football. Then one fateful evening he meets his idol and follows him around a little bit and tries to meet him but ends up getting beat up by his own hero. After that it's hard to really feel for Patton and I found myself rooting against him. Patton did a good job in the role its just the character that's questionably off-balance mentally. He just refuses to listen and help himself about anything. There's little teeny sprinkles of humor here and there, most of it is of the darker variety but there's not many moments that are even smile inducing. Kevin Corrigan has some of the better lines in the movie, especially when he's trying to give any sort of advice. Big Fan is just an ok, if not frustrating movie.
