So I have watched Big Fat Stone a few days ago. Did I love that movie? Well
I must admit that I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the film was thrilling, dramatic and comic, and if you are looking for pure entertainment then that movie would probably meet your expectations. But on the other hand I was disappointed from the low level of the production.
Although I don't expect much from independent films, this time I hoped for more. Maybe this is because I have watched Real Gangsters only about a month ago and I loved that movie so much that I hoped D'Angelo will have more budget this time
But the movie itself was good - The cast are amazing and the story is beautiful and yet something was missing

Big Fat Stone is well-written and beautifully shot. When one considers how this movie was made and for what it was made, I am all the more impressed. The acting is well-done, even down to the bit characters. I was particularly impressed with Frank D'Angelo since that was the first time I saw him as an actor.
I liked the movie Big Fat Stone, but I think the plot was too emotional. In some of the scenes it felt like telenovela. I know that this is a drama, and therefore it has too bee too emotional, but I think it was way too much. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie and I recommend you to watch it if you have the chance.

Hi all, This is my first review ever, and please accept my apology but I'm not familiar with the industry jargon
I watched the movie Big Fat Stone after reading some of the reviews here, and I did not know what to expect due to the mixed opinions. Luckily Big Fat Stone did not disappoint me. As mentioned before, I am not an expert in writing reviews
so I'll just write my honest opinion about this movie: The plot is nice, the movie is well shot, the music is fantastic. I also liked the chemistry of the entire cast. Having said that, I felt that some of the actors played a bit over dramatic and not natural. Yet, I enjoyed it due to the beautiful script that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Overall I enjoyed watching this movie, and I recommend you to watch it.
Call me crazy
but I love Canadian movies. I think that there's nothing like watching a movie filled with Canadian actors. I prefer watching Canadian movies than watching Hollywood Oscar winning movies
but that's only me. Anyway, as a Canadian movies fan, I really enjoyed this movie.. I enjoyed the acting very much. Loved the script and especially the fact that the film had two different stories and only at the end all seemed to come to a light but actually left us with questions about what we may think the conclusion really was and why. The only reason I don't give this movie a 10 score, is because I didn't like the fact that D'Angelo pretended the plot happens in New York and not in Canada, but I guess that this is show biz
I'm writing this review after reading some of the other reviews here, and it seems like viewers either love it or hate it. So I loved it, but at the same time I can understand some of the bad reviews. I watched this movie a few days ago, and the reason I didn't write until now, is because I believe a good movie "stays" in your head for a few days after you watch it, and surprisingly, Big Fat Stone has been stuck in my head for the past few days, especially because of the ending. I actually found myself thinking about it and wondering what did D'Angelo mean by this ending
And that's the reason I loved that movie. However, on the other side, the acting was good but not excellent, you could see that this is a low budget production and I may even say an immature one. To sum up – the script is good, and overall I have enjoyed this movie, so if you are looking for a cute movie, it worth a shot!
