Media Author Review

"An offbeat romantic comedy that almost - but not quite - works. The characters and situations are a little too quirky for their own good." 
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
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"

"Dano is a talented actor who needs to aim higher, and it should go without saying that Deschanel can do - and should know - better."

Chicago Reader
"This is loads of fun in the early stretch, as the characters are being introduced, but the story never really goes anywhere."
United States
San Francisco Chronicle
"Inert, incompetent and emotionally fraudulent"
