Movie Review: My Giant

 Billy Crystal plays a hollywood scout, Sammy, whose last client has just fired him.  He is down on his luck.  He finds himself in Romania on business and crashes his car.  He is rescued by a giant, Gheorghe Mureșan playing Max.  Max leads a lonely life, having been brought up by a monastery as his parents gave up on him because he was so big.  Max is convinced to go with Sammy to America to look for an ex girlfriend, Liliana (Joanna Pacula).  Sam hopes to sell hi to Hollywood.  Sam finally finds her, but she does not want anything to do with Max.  It had been over twenty years since they last saw each other.  Sam recruits his estranged wife (Kathleen Quinlan) to take the place of Lilliana, and it works.  His wife as Lilliana says she has found another so Max gets soe closure.  Sam does get Max a role as a giant with Steven Seagal.  Pretty fun, and everyone is better for it in the end.  Sam gets back with his wife, and Max reconciles with his parents.  The downer is Max has an inoperable heart condition.
