Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I found it to be very heartwarming and touching.
Review: "My Giant" is a movie about a person with a giant heart. He was sensitive and loyal to the girl he loved. Through 23 years without seeing her, he was faithful and stayed faithful to the end. When the Lord of Lord Jesus said " I demand you to love one another", this movie was a fair example.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ...
Review: After reading the reviews, I had to respond. I really enjoyed this movie. A lot of people seem to be missing the entire point of the movie (as well as the storyline). Apparently a movie with Billy Crystal must be all hilarity and no poignancy for people to enjoy it.

Maybe advertising is to blame, but I was lucky enough to not hear much about it when it was released. With no expectations in mind, I thought the movie was great -- and Billy Crystal does a decent job taking on a dramatic role. Muresan does surprisingly well with his role as well, concidering the horrible screen talents of other famous-sports-players-put-in-movie types. I would recommend this to anyone...as long as they don't expect Crystal in a stand-up-comedic routine.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: FADED CRYSTAL
Review: Could not enjoy this film because Billy Crystal's off-screen behavior is permeating my perception of his on-screen performance. Based upon what I've seen and read, he's an angry, rude person who treats people like dirt. If you can deny his true personality, you'll like the facade he presents in this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I could hardly believe the language used in this movie. We wanted to view this movie and seeing it was rated PG I had no trouble with the kids being there but with the language content this should have been PG13. The language turned me off to the whole movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Billy Crystal at his worst!
Review: I love Billy Crystal! But I hated this movie! I will always hate it! How does a man so talented as a comedian go do a drama and expect to excell? It was a poor attempt at a movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Underrated comedy-drama
Review: I think this movie suffered from a misleading ad campaign which made it look like a slapstick comedy. It's not.

It's adult comedy-drama, and a pretty good one. Crystal, the ultimate cynic, slowly becomes best friends with his giant, the ultimate innocent. And there are actually a fair amount of laughs along the way.

It helps to know that this picture was inspired by the late Andre the Giant, who worked with Crystal on "The Princess Bride." Giants' lives are never easy, and that's why this picture has to be serious as well as fun.

I have the feeling this picture may play better on video. If you like funny-sad pictures, check it out.

Summary: My Giant is more like a kids movie
Review: I thought this movie sucked. Billy Crystal wasn't even funny. He tries to be funny in some scenes but the whole movie is just plain dumb. The only thing that I got excited about this movie was that tall guy. I heard he's 7'7 in real life.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst movie....EVER!
Review: It only got one star because I couldn't give it a zero, This movie is unbelievable bad. No one in the theatre laughed at all, not ever once. (I could hear Crickets cherping it was so quiet.)How they roped Billy Crystal into this mess is beyond me. Please... Trust me, don't see this movie. You'll be begging for that 90 minutes of your life back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: My Giant is very funny! Billy Crystal is his usual self in this movie. The same comic personality like in all the rest of his movies. This is a wonderful movie. It also has drama. Very few movies possess the qualitites of making you laugh and cry, and making it work. This does though. If you are a Billy Crystal fan, you will love this!
