The film stars Billy Crystal, who also produced and co-wrote the story for the film, and Romanian NBA player Gheorghe Mureșan in his debut film appearance. David Seltzer's script was inspired by Crystal's friendship with professional wrestler André the Giant, whom he had met during the filming of The Princess Bride. My Giant was released by Sony Pictures Releasing on April 10, 1998 in the United States, with Warner Bros. releasing in other territories. The film received negative reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing $8.1 million against a $20 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
