Brian
Weathersby (Paul Dano) is a painfully shy 28 year-old mattress salesman, youngest
son of grandparent-aged parents (veterans Ed Asner and Jane Alexander,
both excellent). Unfulfilled by his work, he pursues his lifelong goal
of adopting a Chinese baby. One day a young woman buys a mattress for
her dad. Brian delivers it, and soon finds himself swept up in a romance
with the lovely but quirky Harriet "Happy" Lolly (the extraordinary
Zooey Deschanel). But to win her over, he must deal with their
individual insecurities, plus her bearish and overbearing braggart of a
father (John Goodman) with deep pockets, bad back and his daughter's
best interest at heart. When Brian gets the baby, Happy chickens out and
breaks up with him. Do warm hearts trump cold feet? Find out for
yourself in
GIGANTIC, a funny, surreal love story about
the anxiety and pressures that come when two people with crazy families
collide unexpectedly and fall for each other.
