‘Big Fan’ starring Patton Oswalt is already the best movie of the year

By ArtieFufkin

I’m not one for hyperbole, and nevermind the fact that I haven’t seen the entire film, but if this trailer is any indication, the new movie “Big Fan” starring Patton Oswalt (set for an August 28th release) is going to be the greatest movie in the history of the universe.

From the Sundance website:

For legions of people, sports teams are religion, and their favorite players are their idols. This notion sparks the hilarious premise of Big Fan, the exhilarating directing debut from Robert Siegel, the screenwriter of The Onion Movie and The Wrestler.Paul Aufiero, a 35-year-old parking-garage attendant from working-class Staten Island, is the self-described “world’s biggest New York Giants fan.” One night Paul and his best friend, Sal, spot star Giants linebacker Quantrell Bishop at a gas station in Staten Island. They impulsively follow his SUV into Manhattan to a strip club, where they finally muster up the courage to talk to their hero. What starts out as a dream come true turns into a nightmare as a misunderstanding ignites a violent confrontation, and Paul is sent down a path that will test his devotion to the extreme.

Oh man does this look good.  In addition to being based around the New York Football Giants, Oswalt is one of the most underrated comedians of our time, and this may be just the role to give him the recognition he deserves.  Anyone out there a member of the Academy and want to send me a preview copy?
