Mattress salesman Brian Weathersby (Paul Dano) is in the process of adopting a Chinese baby. This specific mission has been a goal of his for “pretty much all his life. Zooey Deschanel also stars as Harriet (Happy) Lolly, the object of Brian’s affections. She’s winning as always, but it’s Dano’s understated charm that really takes you by surprise.
Gigantic is an odd little movie. It’s beautifully shot and deadpan funny at times and also… a little baffling. I don’t know what to make of it but I’d happily watch a film like this all day.
