The slacker comedy-drama-romance-whatever Gigantic will fulfill all your alterna-movie weirdness requirements.

On 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.

Gigantic plays like a Sundance movie with half the nouns removed; fetchingly cryptic for a while, it's ultimately just obscure.
50
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.

We can be grateful to a stellar cast and some discipline on the part of Matt Aselton, a commercials director making his feature debut, that Gigantic doesn't go completely overboard. Nevertheless, the film will appeal mostly to festivals and adventurous audiences.

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

Inert, incompetent and emotionally fraudulent.

En général, les films indépendants ne sont pas aussi dramatiquement nuls à chier mais Gigantic prouve le contraire avec cette bluette qui se veut décalée mais se retrouve complètement à côté de la plaque... à moins qu'elle ne se veuille "drôle" comme une sorte d'humour anglais décadent qui aurait fini dans un macgerbal sur lequel les gens marchent dessus sans s'en apercevoir. Ce film est donc un macgerbal écrasé dont même un cabot bourré ne voudrait pas. Le bon Goodman s'est égaré là-dedans, le cave qui veut adopter son bébé chinois est juste ce qu'il prétend être : un cave et la Zooe Bordeaux-Chesnel ferait très bien dans une pub pour rillettes. Mignonne mais conne comme un balai à chiottes. Non, nous n'avons pas les mêmes valeurs et cet ersatz de film péteux qui parle pour ne rien dire n'en a aucune.
