Revealing mistakes: During the basketball game, it is obvious that the "people" in the upper seats are clearly cardboard cutouts due to a lack of extras on the set.

"Big Shot..." is a little comedy with a big message which takes the audience on a fun ride with Krumholtz as a savvy college student who plays life fast and loose and gets caught up in making book on sporting events only to find the money comes easy but the problems come easier. In the end, the film turns serious as it deftly delivers a poignant message for all those who think there's a fast track to success in life. Though "Big Shot..." is no more than a little journeyman B-flick, it takes the high road without getting preachy and entertains without pandering to the audience making it a good example for all the Hollywood big shots who can't see past the easy money and the big bottom line. Kudos to the producers of this very big little movie with a positive message for all the wannabe big shots. (C+)
Note - I watched this flick back to back with Spielberg's huge "Minority Report". Pound for pound, this is the better of the two.
