This fish-out-of-water story gets a big boost from a solid performance from Billy Crystal and an extremely likable turn by the NBA's Gheorghe Muresan. Crystal plays a talent agent who discovers a Romanian giant. In a frantic attempt to save his sagging career, Crystal gets the giant a role in a film. Then it's off to America to search for his long lost love.

My Giant is predictable and extremely manipulative, pulling at your heart strings nearly every second, but for the most part, it works. Michael Liehmann, the man who made Heathers, throws in some hilarious stuff including a wrestling sequence that involves Muresan and an angry mob of dwarves. This scene alone was worth the price of admission. Rounding out a great cast is Kathleen Quinlan as Crystal's supportive wife.
