Salesmen Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito and Peter Facinelli (Supernova) are holed up in a hotel suite during a trade convention exchanging sharp, idiosyncratic pot shots and awaiting their chance to pitch a major new client in this loquacious character study adapted from the play Hospitality Suite and directed by stage vet John Swanbeck. Layered, perceptive performances overcome the dry source material and static, low-end, stage-style production values to make The Big Kahuna a savory dialogue-driven treat. A strong optional purchase.
