What happens

Big Trouble is a 2002 American black comedy film based on the novel Big Trouble by Dave Barry. It was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and featured a large cast including Tim Allen and Rene Russo with Dennis Farina, Zooey Deschanel, Sofia Vergara, in her film debut, and Jason Lee in supporting roles. Like much of Dave Barry's fiction, it follows a diverse group of people through a series of extremely strange and humorous situations against the backdrop of Miami. Big Trouble was released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution on April 5, 2002. The film was a box-office bomb as it grossed $8.5 million against a $40 million budget, and received mixed critical reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
