Reception
Go Big was Ten's top rating Australian show but fell outside the top twenty.[4]
Tony Johnson of the Herald Sun gave it a mixed review saying it "starts out cheeky and amusing enough, but soon drifts into predictable territory."[5] The Sydney Morning Herald's Doug Anderson wrote "This is an effervescent caper comedy which runs like a Gatling gun through the old boy network and the A-list, targeting the sharks and grubs of the market at their own game, using vanity as a weapon of mass deception and the kiss of a chameleon not to mention a frog."[6] Writing in the Age Debi Enker states "Go Big is an appealing caper-flick with a romantic heart."[7]
