Saw an early showing of Big Fan at the Dallas AFI Film Festival and really enjoyed this movie. As you can see there isn't even a movie poster for this film yet, but it is due to release sometime in the early Fall 2009. This is another sports genre movie written by Robert Siegel (The Wrestler), but this one is about sports fandom dealing with a hardcore New York Giants fan that works in a parking garage toll booth. This story takes off when Paul Aufiero (Patton Oswalt) has a chance encounter with his hero, a great New York Giants linebacker. Paul's world is turned upside down through a series of events that truly tests the will and dedication of a true fan. Not wanting to be known as a comedy, Big Fan does have some humorous scenes, but all in all is a good sports movie that is certainly not in the typical Hollywood mold.
