A new addition to the classic dumbass movie pantheon.

The Big Bang (2011)

This is a fine example of a time-honored dumbass movie genre - attempted film noir. It has all the necessary ingredients: A hard-boiled P.I. [Antonio Banderas, who also stars in another decent dumbass flick, Desperado, with the yummy Salma Hayek.] who is much too smart for his own good, a femme fatale, an insane rich guy, sexual perversion, dark secrets, Los Angeles, and crooked cops.

Sadly, it's rated R for the usual ignorant use of words you wouldn't use around your mom, not quite cartoonish bloodletting, and nudity from the cute-as-a-next-door-button Autumn Reeser [from tv's No Ordinary Family].



Dumbass Cameo: Snoop Dogg as a porn director/actor.

All-Time Dumbass Line: After an albino midget is set on fire and launched out of a Hollyweird mansion's window, Banderas says: "He's a white dwarf gone supernova."
