Billy Crystal makes a film remotely resembling his relationship with the late Andre the Giant. Crystal is miraculously pulled out of a car wreck somewhere in Romania by a seven and a half foot giant, played by NBA star Gheorghe Muresan, and they almost immediately bond with each other. Billy Crystal is a movie star agent who feels that Muresan would be perfect in a film that's being shot close by. Crystal wants to turn this guy into a movie star, but Muresan only wants to visit his childhood sweetheart who moved to the United States a long time ago. While this family friendly movie certainly isn't Crystal's best effort, it is entertaining and good enough for his fans.
