A stunning performance by Paul Dano and a very believable by Zooey Deschannel. Some might say bits of this film are mundane and were not needed, but that's what makes this film a sensation, to be able to relate to these so called scenes can in fact bring you deeper into the film.However, my only criticism would be the ending, I think it leaves us wondering about too many things.Overall, this is a great film which explores the life of a salesman with a very unique life, not seen very much in many films these days, who falls in love with a customer who leads a very strange life too. The violent attacks by an unknown figure played by Zach Galifianakis make the film more mysterious and makes the viewer curious to who this figure is.All in all a fine film.

Is there a such thing as a negative number here? This movie sucked! Why is there no zero here? They want me to write 10 lines about this crappy movie. Okay then. Sucks Sucks Sucks, how's that? Had possibilities, but they got lost. The attacker/s never explained. After killing the attacker, life just goes on. This movie does not speak well of any adoption agency. Only Sharon Stone's "The Quick and The Dead" sucked any worse. Keep the 98 minutes of your life from being wasted. I can't get the time I wasted on this movie back. Anymore than the time I am wasting trying to get ten lines to say about this movie. Is anybody wealthy enough to pay $14k for a mattress.Grynne

This is the kind of movie that makes you want to grab the first emo kid you see on the street and forcibly give him a perm.Take all the indie movies ever made. Take the worst scene from each one. Slap them all together, and there you have "Gigantic". It suffers from all the clichés that make people hate indie films: mumbling characters that irritate the crap out of you, no script to speak of, jokes where the audience is evidently supposed to imagine the punchline, and so much cynicism you wonder why the writer didn't just kill himself when he was 16.Throw in a bunch of homophobic wisecracks, anti-Semitic slurs, racial slurs of all shapes & sizes, and an opening scene of animal cruelty (American Humane did not monitor this film), and here you have a bona fide painful experience.I think I laughed more watching "Platoon" than I did watching this dud of a movie.Please don't think all indie films are like this. If you want to see a hilarious non-Hollywood rom-com, look for a film called "Buffalo 66" with Christina Ricci and Vincent Gallo. For Zooey fans of course there's "(500) Days of Summer". Skip this and watch something, anything, else.

It isn't a good movie. Paul Dano is too boring in Gigantic. Zooey is Zooey. I wonder if she is exactly the same in real life. In all movies of her that I saw she was like all the other. Fortunely I like her a lot but if I didn't I wouldn't have guts to see any other movies with her.I started to see this movie only to see Zoey and, sadly, I finished by the same reason. The movie has no motivation. She said she loves he, but I can not imagine how. His character is boring. Both do nothing to know each other. After, she missed a dinner and everything collapsed.A bunch of things was forgotten too. The research and the hot blonde, for example. An homeless try to kick his ass out. Seemingly with no reason at all.Well, that is how I define this movie. Nothing has a reason. I don't know what was in the director's mind, what the writer was thinking when made this script, but they thought we could find out. Well, I can't. Like me, watch if you don't have any plans at 4a.m. and like Zooey DeschannelFor now, I'm sorry about my bad English.
