Trailer - Patton Oswalt is a 'Big Fan'

Comedian Patton Oswalt has already turned a lot of heads with his performance in Big Fan, which was probably not the movie and performance a lot of people expected when this debuted at Sundance this year. Oswalt is going to the dark side, playing a lifelong New York Giants fanatic whose meeting with the team's star player turns both of their lives around. Big Fan is the directorial debut of Robert Siegel, somehow overlooked for Oscar consideration for his script for The Wrestler. Like that film, Big Fan brings a flashlight and microscope to a seldom depicted part of sports, and based on the reviews, does so unflinchingly and powerfully. The film opens in New York on August 28th, and then First Independent Pictures will extend its run into September.

Wow, this trailer wasn't what I was expecting given that it's Patton Oswalt. There's very few trailers that put a film definitively in the "see it" category, this one does so rather well. It leaves you thinking what in the hell is Oswalt's character going to do and where the imagination can run from there just makes the film that much more interesting.
