Synopsis
Gigantic centers around a depressed mattress salesman named Brian, played by Paul Dano. Brian plans to adopt a Chinese baby. But his plans get sidetracked when he falls in love with a quirky, yet attractive young woman named Happy, played by Zooey Deschanel. Things are complicated by Brian's liberal parents and Happy's domineering dad, who are all eccentric in their own right.Rotten Tomatoes: GiganticReview Quotes
- "Ms. Deschanel, as always, exudes an appealing freshness and unpredictability. With its off-center dialogue and upscale industrial settings, Gigantic strains to be original. But beneath its indie affectations it is really another contemplation of generational misunderstanding."—NY TimesNY Times: The Swagger of Fathers, the Drift of Children (April 3, 2009)
- "The only way Gigantic lives up to its title is the consistency with which it drops every issue like a hot rock. Instead of the usual big fat film-school bores I've come to expect from low-budget film projects like this, Gigantic is more like an infinitesimal fat film-school bore. The first 30 minutes are unwatchable. The other 68 minutes are pretty damned close to unspeakable. There’s an order blank for Gigantic already waiting at Netflix."—NY ObserverNY Observer: What a Gigantic Waste of Time (March 31, 2009)
