Editorial Review:
This Billy Crystal vehicle suffers from too much sentimentality that competes with the outrageous physical comedy, but still manages to be funny enough to be worth a look. Crystal plays a shallow sports agent on tour in Eastern Europe, smarting from the separation from his wife and kid, when he literally crashes into a discovery that might resurrect his career. He finds a giant in a rural town (NBA Basketball player Gheorghe Muresan) and takes him back to America in the hopes of exploiting his find, but soon discovers that loyalty and being true to the things that are important to him are what really matters. It's the physical comedy and the contrast between the titanic Muresan and the diminutive Crystal that sustains the movie beyond its premise. Crystal's personality and Muresan's genuine nature make My Giant rise above its gimmicky nature. --Robert Lane

Summary: one of Billy Crystal's Very Best
Comment: This is mainly a romance movie, but also a comedy. It's a movie about friendship, compassion, and love. Very unique & Excellent.

Summary: The Movie that ended both of Georghe Murasan's careers!
Comment: Georghe Murasan was a 7'7" Roumanian
Basketball Centre who Comedian (sup-
posedly) Billy Crystal tabbed to c0-
star with him in this surprisingly
unfunny Comedy about a Talent(less)
Talent agent, Sammy Kamin, who goes
to Eastern Europe to find 'the next
big thing', and he literally does!
Murasan, who injured his ankle so
badly in this film just jumping
across a stream in what became an
outtake scene, that he only came
back and played one more NBA game
(0-1 shooting for New Jersey), is
a tame, gentle giant in a Monestary
that Pulls Kamin out of his upside-
down in a stream rental car and
saves the losers life. I really
hate to put Crystal, who like
myself is a rabid L.A. Clippers
fan, but this movie is just not
very good. The ending, where the
smarmy Kamin gets his come-uppense
is solid but along the way we en-
counter a wrestling scene (NATU-
RALLY!) AND a vulgar Rabbi, play
ed by ex-McHale's Navy vet Carl
Ballantine, who eats pork! If
this your idea of humour, you might
like it but I didn't!

Summary: Enjoyable
Comment: This movie was about a giant who meets an agent(Billy Crystal). They travel to United States and appear in a couple of movies. This movie shows the relationship of the two people, and the relationship improves throughout the movie. If this movie didn't have Billy Crystal it would of been a failure, but since it did it was funny and enjoyable.

Summary: BIG STAR ON THE HORIZON
Comment: The relationship between self-centered agent Billy Crystal and real-life NBA star Gheorghe Muresan is the main reason to watch this otherwise sentimental, few laughs comedy. Crystal is his usual competent self in a role obviously written with him in mind. In his film debut, Muresan brings an affable presence in his role as a 7 1/2 ft. giant Crystal stumbles on while visiting his current client in Romania. The young actor (Rider Strong) fires Crystal and Crystal decides to put the rather naive giant into the same movie. Muresan agrees only to find the love his youth who now lives in Galloop, USA. (Gallup, New Mexico). A subplot involves Crystal's failed marriage with Kathleen Quinlan (who doesn't get to do a whole lot, but is always watchable). Martial arts star Steven Segal plays himself, and Joanna Pacula appears as the rather disappointing love of Muresan's life. Hokey and often trite, MY GIANT is fun to watch because of its two stars.

Summary: I love this movie
Comment: I have watch this movie for 4 times and I intend to watch it again. I think Gheorge Muresan so sweet.
