In the whimsical and offbeat romantic comedy Gigantic, Paul Dano stars as Brian Weathersby, a quietly eccentric mattress salesman whose life is defined by a single, peculiar dream: to adopt a baby from China. His orderly, if lonely, existence is upended when he meets the impulsive and charmingly erratic Harriet Lolly, played by Zooey Deschanel. Harriet, the daughter of a wealthy and intimidating client, John Goodman, breezes into Brian’s world with a whirlwind of quirky energy and unexpected vulnerability. As their unlikely romance tentatively blossoms, Brian must navigate the complexities of winning over her skeptical father, managing his own unconventional family—including his ailing grandfather, portrayed by Edward Asner—and reconciling his lifelong adoption plan with the sudden, chaotic possibility of love. Directed by Matt Aselton, the film paints a tender and often hilarious portrait of two misfits searching for connection, blending dry humor with genuine heart as it explores whether a dream can change shape when someone new walks into your life.
