  The September 2001 release of "Big Trouble" was delayed by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Understandable. It's a broad comedy that involves efforts by idiotic Russian arms dealers in Miami to sell a mysterious weapon in a suitcase that keeps disappearing. But the most problematic aspect of the film — directed by Barry Sonnenfeld ("Get Shorty"), based on a novel by humorist Dave Barry and featuring a cool ensemble — is that it strains too hard for laughs and doesn't get enough of them. A bravura lead might have helped. Tim Allen tries to be likable but projects his inevitable obnoxiousness, false bonhomie and cheesy sentiment as a luckless divorced dad who loses a job as a newspaper columnist, is stuck in the ad business, and may have to save South Florida from destruction to win the heart of a hottie hausfrau (Rene Russo). Any fun comes courtesy of cast members Stanley Tucci, Dennis Farina, Janeane Garofalo, Patrick Warburton, Jason Lee and Andy Richter, who know and do farce.
