Philip French Guardian May 13, 2020
It's not much good, though certainly not boring. Go to Full Review
Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) May 13, 2020
Andrea simply doesn't have the comic nerve or timing to carry it off, and the look of his film is horribly drab - little wonder when most of it was shot in the Isle of Man and Wales, neither of them a convincing stand-in for Oregon. Go to Full Review
Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine May 13, 2020
3/5
The tone shift is a little too extreme for mainstream success, but Schwimmer and Pegg provide a solid, blackly comic centre to an original crime caper. Go to Full Review
Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Nov 24, 2020
5/10
It's slightly clever from time to time, but it's pieced together in an entirely forgettable manner. Go to Full Review
Total Film Staff Total Film May 13, 2020
An imitation of other indie noirs it may be, but Big Nothing is one film that offers more than its title suggests. Go to Full Review
Paul Dale The List May 13, 2020
2/5
Go rent the 1974 film Dirty Mary Crazy Larry; it's got a similar-ish plot and the car chases are better. Go to Full Review

George S Oct 1, 2018 Big nothing is an entertaining watch. It is not a great film but it definitely is small something.
George R Feb 13, 2018 If you make a film called Big Nothing you really have to offer something interesting, otherwise you're just opening up yourself to that really easy joke. For Simon Pegg completionists only. See more
Harry S Jul 25, 2017 truly a unique film, and possibly one of the most underrated black comedies to exist
Finn L Sep 1, 2014 Frustrating meandering.
