Critics Consensus: The Big Picture aims at targets that might not be familiar to viewers who aren't well-versed in movie-biz chicanery, but hits most of them so solidly that laughter is the only option.

...generally feels like a short that's been awkwardly expanded to feature length...

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

Dennis Schwartz

A genial and funny satire/comedy about an up-and-coming student filmmaker.

Partly romance, partly fantasy, partly satire on what passes for life in Hollywood -- and all charm -- this movie even has a perfect title.

[A] hilariously canny 1989 satire about contemporary filmmaking in Hollywood.

Befitting two of the co-authors of This is Spinal Tap, Guest and Michael McKean, The Big Picture displays a keen eye for the silliness of film biz customs, lingo and attitudes.
