My Giant

Comedy, Drama · 1998PG

Billy Crystal ("Monsters, Inc.," "Analyze This") stars in this comedy of incredible proportions about a sleazy talent agent who discovers that love and friendship are more important than ambition and wealth. After crashing his car in the Romanian countryside, the agent is rescued by his dream-come-true: a 7-1/2 foot tall "giant" (NBA basketball star Gheorghe Muresan) who lives a cloistered existence in a Romanian monastery. Disregarding the giant's gentle nature and vulnerability, the agent proceeds to orchestrate the giant's show business career as they travel to New York City and Las Vegas. Cameos by Steven Seagal ("Under Siege") and Vern Troyer ("Austin Powers" films) as a wrestler.
