Big Gold Brick is not a perfect movie but it's pretty bloody good. Anyone expecting a mainstream comedy will find that this really doesn't fit that bill. It's bizarre and surreal and chucks the laws of physics out the window. Being John Malkovich it definitely isn't but there are occasional parallels in terms of tone and strangeness.
It misses the mark sometimes, Lucy Hale is criminally under-utilised, the lead isn't always great (Garcia however is) but there are enough hilarious moments and the bizarre plot is interesting enough to earn this a perhaps slightly generous 7/10.
