Ed Park

At least Sean Astin, as a scene-chewing prima donna, seems to be having a good time--and mom Patty Duke gets to call him a "turd." Read full review

Sheri Linden

This tale of the theater could have used more time on the road. Read full review

Jami Bernard

It's strictly amateur hour. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Unconvincing poser. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

This heartfelt valentine to the stage leaves no cliché unturned. If it has anything to recommend, it is the loving portrayal of the camaraderie of those who participate in art for art's sake who, to quote Cyrano, "work without one thought of gain or fame." Read full review

Marc Mohan

The story is as predictable as it is saccharine. Apart from the presence of local landmarks, there's no reason the Rose City should be proud of this effort. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

A huge pile of horsefeathers is being peddled as fairy dust in Bigger Than the Sky. Read full review

In a lifetime of working in theatre, film and television (writer-director-producer) as well as working as a television critic for trade paper Radio-TV Daily in the late 1950's, this is certainly the most dishonest and stupid little film you could possibly imagine. How it got financed In a lifetime of working in theatre, film and television (writer-director-producer) as well as working as a television critic for trade paper Radio-TV Daily in the late 1950's, this is certainly the most dishonest and stupid little film you could possibly imagine. How it got financed is beyond me. The idea of a total amateur being cast as the lead in Cyrano would have had the entire cast in open revolt. If it had all been part of some dream sequence cooked up in the brain of a shy young man, but other than that it's a total loser. It's sweet that certain viewers may have enjoyed (to some degree) its attempt at sweetness and lovey-dovey backstage views, but it's all an insult to the actual craft and people involved.… Expand
