My Giant

My Giant (1998) is a family comedy with Billy Crystal that you can watch online on iFILM. Sammy Kamin is a Hollywood agent on a losing streak. His last client just dumped him, a shoot in Romania has fallen apart, and on the drive back he sends his car straight off the road and into a river.

The man who pulls him out is Max — a soft-spoken giant well over seven feet tall, living quietly at a monastery. Max is played by Gheorghe Mureșan, a real NBA center and one of the tallest people alive, and his clumsy warmth carries the whole picture. Sammy smells a payday and talks Max into chasing a film career in America. The catch is that the giant wants none of the fame; he is searching for a woman he loved long ago. Directed by Michael Lehmann, it is a gentle story about friendship and a fast-talking hustler who slowly learns to care about someone other than himself. Stream My Giant (1998) online on iFILM.
