High on the heels of his incredible turn in American Beauty, Kevin Spacey returns as a lubricant salesman in the fabulous The Big Kahuna, a film written by Roger Rueff based on his play Hospitality Suite. Even more incredible, this was the first thing Rueff ever wrote and he was a chemical engineer when he finished it.

The Big Kahuna was shot in about eighteen days and flows like a play much like Glengarry Glen Ross. There are three leads played respectively by Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Peter Facinetti. They spend most of the film engaging in complex conversations laced with smart, crisp dialogue. The film was directed with a steady hand by first timer John Swanbeck, and although the film isn't exactly high tech, it is smooth and features dynamite acting and a top notch script.
