WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

sijoe22 ...........but not as bad as many out here say.Movie had a number of funny lines, causing me to laugh out loud, which I rarely do, but did this movie contain a real story? Some under-achieving sad sack (think Obama supporter) goes about his meaningless life, wanting to adopt a Chinese baby, and at the end, the "hero" does. No, I'm NOT kidding, that's about it.One other thing I didn't get was that bearded bum kicking the chit out of him every so often, with no explanation as to who he was, or why he singled out sad sack.It took me reading a few reviews out here to figure out that there WAS no bum after all; this was just a way of showing ole Sad Sack that he had been beaten up by life for a long time. Look for the signs, you'll see.Again, not the worst film I've ever seen- not by a long shot, but save your money if you see it pop up on any PAY movie channel.

Rachel Wolf I sat down to watch this movie, with semi-high hopes. It has a 3.5/ 5 stars on one website and a 6.1/ 10 stars on IMDb, so with that, I assumed it had to be decent, at least. The movie is advertised as a romantic comedy. The box to the DVD actually says "get ready to laugh." Come to find out, absolutely nothing about this movie is a romantic comedy, in any way. There was no comedy in this movie, what so ever. I did not find myself cracking even a smile, much less actually laughing, as I was instructed I would by the DVD box. I spent the time watching the entire movie, hoping that it would get better... and then it just ended. This movie was falsely advertised as a romantic comedy, was a waste of time and just a plain bad movie, in my opinion.

Harperian I am in to quirky comedies, but this one is beyond lame. I love Zooey, but it was painful watching her and Paul Dano play their typical personalities in this wannabe symbolic bullsh!t quirky comedy. I was very disappointed and found myself washing dishes and smoking a cigarette while my girlfriend hung in there. Zooey's quirky personality is played out in this movie, and Paul Dano is a horrible casting role for the protagonist, if you can call him that. I hate to sound so down on a risky film, because I appreciate them going outside the box, but this is so beyond pandering to the indie crowd it makes me sick. I can give it a four out of ten being completely honest. There are some smart parts in this movie, but that's not enough to save it from a sorry plot and poor casting.

samkan A film can be a well intentioned disaster. A true turkey may still exude sincerity. Hard work and serious thought can be evident despite descent into a cinematic mess. A movie can be terrible without me taking it personally. But I can count on one hand the number of films that I have seen that did not have any right to be made. GIGANTIC is one of them.If glib means showing little forethought or preparation, lacking depth and substance, being superficial; if pretension is making unjustified or excessive claims of value or standing; if facetious means jesting in a clumsy or inappropriate manner, then GIGANTIC's poster should appear next to the dictionary entries for each such word.Misters Nagata and Aselton appear to believe that every idea they have is clever and that throwing together a few dozen such ideas, be they subplots, humor vehicles or inane bits of dialog, is homework enough. The two share the delusion their audience is embracing their work with subtle understanding. They mistake confusion as nuance or ambiguity. Just what was it that suggested to Adam and Matt that, in this instance, they had the material and ingenuity enough to create something remotely approaching a feature length film? Dano still manages to shine. Goodman and Asner are still funny. Deschanel cannot act. Never could. After over a hundred IMDb User Comments I've only seen fit to enter two or three as scathing as this one and I get trashed every time. Could not stop myself. GIGANTIC compels me so.
