Critic Reviews

The movie is an unblinking look at the hidden (or perhaps not so hidden) pathology of American sports mania.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Starring an ideally cast Patton Oswalt in the title role, Big Fan is a poignant, dead-on character study, an examination of a crisis in the life of the most die-hard of die-hard New York Giants football fans.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

A bleakly funny character study of a very particular species of urban fauna - the sports radio call-in fanatic - Big Fan' is compulsively watchable.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

One of the more thought-provoking sports movies I've seen.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Because the audience isn’t privy to the hero’s thoughts, the final 15 minutes or so of Big Fan are white-knuckle.Full Review
