"An offbeat romantic comedy that almost - but not quite - works. The characters and situations are a little too quirky for their own good." | ||||
O"n the basis of Gigantic, Matt Aselton can make a fine and original film. This isn't quite it, but it has moments so good, all you wish for is a second draft" | ||||
"Any resemblance the film bears to real people and real situations is purely coincidental." | ||||
"With its off-center dialogue and upscale industrial settings, Gigantic strains to be original. But beneath its indie affectations it is really another contemplation of generational misunderstanding" | ||||
"Dano is a talented actor who needs to aim higher, and it should go without saying that Deschanel can do - and should know - better." | ||||
"This is loads of fun in the early stretch, as the characters are being introduced, but the story never really goes anywhere." | ||||
"Inert, incompetent and emotionally fraudulent" |
