Plot: Third-rate talent agent Sammy Kanin (Billy Crystal) is more devoted to his career than his wife Serena (Kathleen Quinlan) and son Nick (Zane Carney), so instead of going to Nick's birthday party, he chooses to travel to Romania where his teen client Justin Allen (Rider Strong) is acting in a period adventure movie. When Sammy's auto swerves off the road, he wakes up in a monastery, having been removed from the wreckage by sensitive, Shakespeare-quoting, 7'7-tall giant, Max (pro basketball player Gheorghe Muresan), a ward of the monks who works as a monastery caretaker. Sammy sees Max as his ticket to the top, gets him a warrior role in the adventure movie, and takes him back to the U.S. where Max hopes to win back a long-ago girlfriend Lillianna (Joanna Pacula), living in Gallup, New Mexico. Sammy and Max head for Vegas, where actor Steven Seagal (as himself) is shooting a film with a villain role perfect for Max. When Sammy contacts Lillianna, she expresses disinterest in Max, forcing Sammy to seek a solution that can bring the two together. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Touching movie!

Very much underrated. Laugh out loud funny at times, and has plenty of sentimental moments too...

one of Billy Crystal's Very Best

This is mainly a romance movie, but also a comedy. It's a movie about friendship, compassion, and love. Very unique & Excellent.

The Movie that ended both of Georghe Murasan's careers!
Added 9/20/2006

Georghe Murasan was a 7'7" Roumanian
Basketball Centre who Comedian (sup-
posedly) Billy Crystal tabbed to c0-
star with him in this surprisingly
unfunny Comedy about a Talent(less)
Talent agent, Sammy Kamin, who goes
to Eastern Europe to find 'the next
big thing', and he literally does!
Murasan, who injured his ankle so
badly in this film just jumping
across a stream in what became an
outtake scene, that he only came
back and played one more NBA game
(0-1 shooting for New Jersey), is
a tame, gentle giant in a Monestary
that Pulls Kamin out of his upside-
down in a stream rental car and
saves the losers life. I really
hate to put Crystal, who like
myself is a rabid L.A. Clippers
fan, but this movie is just not
very good. The ending, where the
smarmy Kamin gets his come-uppense
is solid but along the way we en-
counter a wrestling scene (NATU-
RALLY!) AND a vulgar Rabbi, play
ed by ex-McHale's Navy vet Carl
Ballantine, who eats pork! If
this your idea of humour, you might
like it but I didn't!

Enjoyable
Added 6/12/2006

This movie was about a giant who meets an agent(Billy Crystal). They travel to United States and appear in a couple of movies. This movie shows the relationship of the two people, and the relationship improves throughout the movie. If this movie didn't have Billy Crystal it would of been a failure, but since it did it was funny and enjoyable.
