Big Kahuna, The
Aroview: Straight stageplay adaptation about three salesmen who plot to sell 'industrial lubricant' to a fat cat client while holed up in a hotel suite.
Kevin Spacey (who co-produced) plays his patented outspoken cynic, Danny De Vito is the world-weary side-kick, and Peter Facinelli, the naïve, puritanical freshman.
Their conversations run through sex, religion and sales ethics to ultimately reveal the quiet desperation of the average Joe. Neither startling or original, but compelling throughout, especially so for those who can relate to mid-life conundrums.
