Add to a movie listThe Big Kahuna is a 1999 American comedy-drama film adapted from the play Hospitality Suite, written by Roger Rueff, who also wrote the screenplay. John Swanbeck, the director, makes few attempts to lessen this film's resemblance to a stage performance: the majority of the film takes place in a single hotel room, and nearly every single line of dialogue is spoken by one of the three actors.
The famous 1997 essay Wear Sunscreen is featured at the end of the film.
Synopsis
Larry Mann (Kevin Spacey) and Phil Cooper (Danny DeVito), experienced marketing representatives for a company that sells industrial lubricants, are attending a trade show in the American Midwest with Bob Walker (Peter Facinelli), a novice sales rep. Larry and Phil are close friends with a long history together. Larry faces urgent financial difficulties that he alludes to only obliquely; Phil has recently come through a recovery program for alcoholism. Bob, an earnest young Baptist, has few if any regrets. Together they hope to arrange a meeting with the head of a large company. Larry refers to their quarry as 'the Big Kahuna.Actors
