Nick B @Nicholas1996 Jan 3 I don’t care about the ratings, because My Giant is an awesome movie and so is the movie called Hustle.(which is basically a remake) See more steve d @RT35616104 07/06/2020 The story was not at all interesting and felt exploitative. See more 02/29/2016 love Billy crystal, but this movie is a novelty act and not much more See more 12/18/2013 A cute playing it safe comedy about struggling Hollywood Agent Billy Crystal who accidentally stumbles across a local Romanian Giant. As you assume Billy immediately pushes him into films although his heart is else where. It's a moral film with a message of what's important. It has a few nice moments but it's nothing amazing but has it's place...it's always good to learn some new Billy Crystal one liners. See more 11/18/2013 A year after the mess that was Father's Day Billy Crystal returned with another stinker and, while this one isn't quite as awful, it's still pretty stinkin' bad. Inspired by his experience meeting Andre the Giant during The Princess Bride, Crystal plays a third rate talent agent struggling to get by. While on assignment in Romania, he gets in a car accident and is saved by a gentle giant named Max who clocks in at nearly 8 feet tall (NBA player Gheorghe Muresan is 7'7"). Seeing a lot of promise in him, Crystal's Sammy tries his best to get Max into the big time, and salvage what's left of his failing career and life. As you might expect, there's a lot of hurdles to get through, and of course, being a scheming weasel, Sammy has some tough lessons to learn about life and humanity. This really could have been a sincere, earnest, and good film. Unfortunately it's handled with little subtlety, originality, and nuance, so the end result is really trite, predictable, and cringe worthy. As a dramedy it's really not all that funny, and the dramatic elements more often than not fall flat and come off as disingenuous and unearned. I'll admit that the Catholic jokes at the monastery and the stuff with Steven Seagal worked and were funny, and I liked a few of the dramatic bits, but overall this was fairly insufferable. I hated the gawking, the obvious routes the film went, and the generally exploitative nature of the proceedings. I felt bad for Muresan, and hope they paid him well for all the stuff done at his expense. Had there been a stronger script, better execution, and a lot more tact, humanity, and heart, then yeah, maybe I'd be on board here. But instead this is shameful, dull, and has almost nothing worthwhile to offer.

MY GIANT est une comedie touchante, amusante et bien interpretee par un duo fantastique, compose de BILLY CRYSTAL et de l'ex joueur NBA GHEORGHE MURESAN. Les allergiques aux bons sentiments passeront leur chemin, les autres riront et pleureront tout au long du film. See more Read all reviews
