The Big Kahuna
(year)
Directed by John Swanbeck, written by Roger Rueff
Few films present our spiritual struggles as authentically as The Big
Kahuna.This film is a compelling dialogue between three men sent to a
trade convention to make a company-saving sale to the president of a large
manufacturing company. Having rented the hospitality suite, Phil (Danny DeVito) is the despondent
head of marketing for Lodestar Lubricants. His associate is a cynical and
sarcastic veteran salesman named Larry (Kevin Spacey). The third member of
their team is a novice engineer and zealous Baptist with only nine months
with the company named Bob (Peter Facinelli). In the genre of a filmed play, director John Swanbeck allows the
power of the film to rest on the humanity of these three unlikely
co-workers who find themselves on a joint journey of unexpectedly
profound spiritual significance. Read the full
