"Bigger Than The Sky" is a small, relatively inconsequential film about a regular guy discovering himself in the community theater milieu.
Other than the assigned villain of the piece, noone has an inflated ego and they are all divinely talented.
BIGGER THAN THE SKY has the feel of an Indie that was made out of a lot of love and commitment from all concerned.

 Bigger than the Sky (2005): Marcus Thomas, Amy Smart, John Corbett, Claire Higgins - PopMatters Film Review
Edwina has destroyed his dreams in favor of pleasing audiences, Grace is back in the arms of Michael, and no one cares to ask Peter what he's going to do after his hard work on his lead role caused him to quit his job.
Peter is little more than an occasion for trotting out the same old theater philosophies showcased in a million other films, from Noises Off (1992) and Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) to Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Illuminata (1998).
Bigger than the Sky starts off with its heart in the right place and ends up with almost none at all.

 'Imaginary Heroes,' 'Bigger Than the Sky' - CAPSULE REVIEWS - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
The focal point of the film, however, is the younger son, Tim (Emile Hirsch), for whom the tragedy triggers a rocky but illuminating coming of age.
He knows how to create complex, believable characters and how to inspire his talented actors to superior performances — Weaver in fact is at her edgy, forthright best — and Harris has a sure sense of structure that reveals itself in his ability to pull off a series of adroitly placed surprises.
Peter is supposed to be an awful actor, but every aspect of the character is rendered so on-the-nose — excuse the pun — as to strain credibility.

The area of sky shown here is approximately 0.015% of the amount of sky that we look at every night, but even though we survey vast regions of the sky per night, it is still going to take us about 5 years to look at all of the sky visible from Palomar Observatory.
In the course of two days the existence of three new objects was announced, and each object was brighter than all of the previously known objects in the Kuiper belt (with the exception of Pluto).

"Bigger Than the Sky" establishes a melancholy tone, but doesn't connect either in concept -- a sad-sack who staggers into a production of "Cyrano de Bergerac" -- or execution.
The film tries to have some fun with inside jokes, riffing on elements of "Cyrano" and casting Patty Duke in a dual role as never-seen-together twins, which is more believable than her long-ago stint as identical cousins.
These are noble ideals to be sure, but "Bigger Than the Sky" can't bring them to fruition.

A valentine to those who believe in the magic of theatre, Bigger Than the Sky is, like its lead character, equal parts endearing and exasperating.
Fortunately, most of the acting in the film is excellent, from Corbett's turn as an aging lothario who's beginning to doubt himself, to Higgins' director, an obstinate woman whose instincts are nevertheless sound.
They bring real conviction to Bigger Than the Sky, a surprisingly civilized film about decent, worthwhile people.

A would-be valentine to the theah-tuh, "Bigger Than the Sky" won't generate any goodwill for actors.
There'll be no curtain calls when "Sky" bows today; video might be a more welcoming venue.
Allan Corduner ("Topsy-Turvy") delivers a vivid turn as the company's former director; he, fellow Brit Higgins and Corbett are effortlessly bigger than their surroundings, if not the sky, lending the shambling pic some fire.

There's nothing more painful than truly wanting to like a movie, but finding nothing you can possibly enjoy or relate to in it.
Just like after watching a play that a friend has written or is starring in at the local community theater, you want so much to find something good to say, but sometimes come up speechless.

 Bigger Than the Sky (2005): Reviews
A huge pile of horsefeathers is being peddled as fairy dust in Bigger Than the Sky.
How it got financed is beyond me. The idea of a total amateur being cast as the lead in Cyrano would have had the entire cast in open revolt.
If it had all been part of some dream sequence cooked up in the brain of a shy young man, but other than that it's a total loser.

"This is the thea-tah, Peter," says an aged thespian to Bigger Than the Sky's protag, a graphic designer (Marcus Thomas) and thea-tah neophyte who's improbably snagged the lead in a community production of Cyrano de Bergerac.
Bigger lopes along endlessly, a no-surprises foray into backstage high jinks and the notion of life as the best acting coach there is. As the naive, just-dumped newbie, Thomas has a sad awkwardness that makes it almost believable that the old-salt director (Clare Higgins) would cast him on the basis of his disastrous audition-cum-lonely-hearts-confession.

But as it happens, both Peter and Michael have become infatuated with Grace, and as Peter tries to find a way to win her attention, Edwina begins to wonder if casting Peter was such a good idea after all.

Unfortunately, the film itself has troubles as well, and they are but seldom solved.
Although Peter is found to be completely inadequate as the featured performer, he quaintly is called upon to save the production after a newly appointed Cyrano becomes unavailable, an unconvincing gambit for one who, in reality, is only suitable for tech support or as a supernumerary.

Bigger Than the Sky tells us in no uncertain terms that theatre people are a breed apart: half-human, half-wood-nymph-and-satyr assemblages constructed primarily out of unchecked emotion, madmen and lovers to the last.
The film adopts a dullard’s view of the proscenium arch as a comically romantic chapel for the social misfit and perpetual personal growth machine.
Thanks to some magical realism that wafts through Bigger Than the Sky whenever the script can’t find a better way to induce character action, Peter soon finds himself enrolling in the Portland Community Theater’s local production of Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.
