My Giant

[2] David Seltzer's script was inspired by Crystal's friendship with professional wrestler André the Giant, whom he had met during the filming of The Princess Bride.After his young client fires him, Sammy crashes his car and is rescued, while unconscious, by an enormous Romanian man named Max who is close to 8 feet tall.When Sammy wakes up, he initially thinks he is in Heaven, but is confused to find a statue of Jesus next to his bed, as he was raised Jewish."[6] The review of the film's original VHS release from Entertainment Weekly was one of its few genuine praises, from critic David Everitt, describing the tape as "a watchable rental.Crystal's wisenheimer Long Island charm wears well, and Muresan, the 7-foot-7 Washington Wizards center, is surprisingly endearing, especially when you can understand what he's saying."[7] Lisa Alspector of the Chicago Reader reviewed the film positively and stated: "My Giant is exciting partly because it dares to get so close to [its] idea, even though it then pulls back.
