I always liked this movie, I have seen it so many times but I always enjoyed it :) the story is interesting and special. But the only thing I have to disagree with is that I don't think Max lived in a Romanian monastery or what was that :P They don't look that way in Romania.. Anyway, back to the story, Ghita Muresan played pretty well but as someone said before me, his English needs to improve. And there were some funny moments and some tragical/sad parts too. It worths being seen, I thought it was sweet that the giant wanted to find his love. I recommended to you all. It's not the best movie ever, but it was nice!

I just wanted to say that. I love Gheorghe Muresan, so I automatically loved this movie. Everything else about it was so-so... Billy Crystal is a good actor, even if he is annoying. But the thing that made this movie was- at least, for a basketball fan- seeing Gheorghe Muresan act.

"My Giant" is a pleasant, gentle movie, with some defects, but also containing some original ideas. The plot is divided into two conflicting parts. The first part, located in Rumania, is comic, with Sam (Billy Crystal) trying to convince the giant Max (Gheorghe Muresan) to become an actor. The second part, in the States, is sentimental (sometimes over-sentimental) and touching. Needless to say, I prefer the first part, which offers some really funny moments (NOT the vomit scene, which is, fortunately, the only coarseness in the film).The sentimental part is a bit boring. Moreover, we find in it the cliche family troubles that (according to movies) any American male seems to have. But, in fairness, some developments of the story are original, unexpected and surprising, if not particularly cheerful.I like Billy Crystal and I'm always amused by him. The character of the giant Max is depicted with extreme sympathy: Gheorghe Muresan shows that he can act.A surprising peculiarity of "My Giant" is the great respect for Christian religion and priests (here monks), shown along the movie. This is really amazing. The trend in current movies is the exact contrary: Christian religious feelings are systematically scorned, and, in particular, priests are usually depicted as the hypocritical origin of all evil. Since I'm always fond of people swimming against the main stream, I heartily thank Billy Crystal and Gheorghe Muresan for having violated these annoying conventions.

This movie turned out to be better than I had expected it to be. Some parts were pretty funny. It was nice to have a movie with a new plot.
