Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times For those who find reality television mindless and cruel, watching "The Next Big Thing" would do little to dissuade them from their opinion. Feb 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The Next Big Thing is a fun and funny indie comedy. Chuck wants to film his reluctant friend Julian's everyday life and make it into a movie. I really liked the line: "We're making a movie about being famous... so I can become famous." It felt like that really spoke to modern day celebrity culture and the seemingly near universal yearning to be the next breakout Youtube or social media star. But what I think makes The Next Big Thing refreshing to me is Julian's reluctance and unease about all of this, and the messiness that ensues, as well as the raw nature of a friend just kind of picking up a camera and following you around that felt more realistic and unpolished as compared to what would occur in a Hollywood production of a similar plot line. The acting is also pretty good here and you'll notice some familiar faces like Jonathan Lipnicki ("the human head weighs eight pounds" haha), Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk!), and others. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member If you enjoy watching douchey people do douchey things and douche-ness ensues to no satisfying end this movie is great for you. I didn't like it at all. This belongs exactly where it is-on a streaming network in which I did not have to pay anything to see it.
