Gigantic left me with a strange sense of satisfaction. I enjoyed the light banter that provided the balk of the jokes within the film. Dano and Deschanel are an immediate hit accompanied by Goodman's abrupt modern performance. The story is a simple boy meets girl plot with some subtlety epic spice, for instance the overlying story of Brian's attempt at adopting a Chinese baby. The script is coarse with much cursing and quick racial slurs, but it's not overbearing and allows for the deep topics to come off as lighthearted.
Matt Aselton did a good job at introducing heavily gigantic topics in a nonchalant manner. The title is very befitting of the gigantic life changing situations Dano and Deschanel are presented within the story. The overall movie is shot in the typical indie fashion, providing many modern art like scenes that leaves the audience with an appreciation of the movie from an artistic standpoint: one particular scene-the view point in the city passing by while Goodman is on his back in the car.
A few unanswered questions: Why a Chinese baby, and why has he wanted this baby for so long? What is the deal with the homeless man targeting Dano...does he even exist, is this a metaphor?
Overall good starter film, nothing terribly standout...perfect for a rainy day.
