I thought this was a pretty cool movie for the time period it came out in. It even had a message in it, which is : never forget who you are, where you have come from and gone through when you reach the success you set out to reach in life.
Some people act like they have a vendetta against this little movie. This film is no masterpiece, but it's not that bad. I ignored it in the 90's because I assumed it wasn't anything worth watching, but recently caught it on cable because nothing else was on. Hey I was bored, maybe that's a reason I got into it, but all and all it's okay. It won't have you rolling over laughing, but it is kind of funny. This is not a film I'd recommend you spend any money on but it's a good film to take in if you got nothin..
Im not the least bit surprised that this movie has a low rating. Im not the least bit surprised that the negative reviews are not even reviews but written down babble from people who couldnt write a review to save their lives and always use the same kind of criticism to describe EVERY movie they hate. Stupid, predictable sheep. At any rate, Livin Large came and went for the simple fact that it was smarter than its target audience. Beyond the humor is a message to behold.Terrence T.C. Carson plays Dexter Jac..
