Despite a promising cast and a premise that could've gone somewhere, Gigantic is a lazy screenplay and the performances aren't much to crow about either.
Everyone involved in the film seems to be sleeping their way through the script, which hardly budges either.
Unless you are a die hard fan of Deschanel this film will likely underwhelm you.What you expect from the lead actors - michaelpackard
It's funny I think both Paul Dano and Zooey Deschanel are being type-cast for socially awkward people who meet fall in love and have difficult relationships. If you have enjoyed their similar work of this type in the past go ahead and rent this. As usual John Goodman is the amazing bright of the film even if my wife had a hard time not seeing him as Dan from Rosanne.Unique comedy - UltraZip
I liked many of Zooey Deschanel's other movies so picked this one up. Quirky little comedy with Paul Dano as the mattress salesman, John Goodman as Deschanel's father and Ed Asner as Dano's dad. Don't expect a clear cut Rom-Com but a tale of two unique families with some real-life issues and personal struggles that each character is dealing with, with of course some humor thrown in.
