Leave your thoughts about Gigantic.
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsMark BrownPredictably, Flansburgh and Linnell are the saving grace of the movie, both in their interview segments (refreshingly witty, although the editing could have been tighter) and particularly in the live footage. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderShould be sent out to fan club members, not exhibited in movie theaters. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffTraces the band's 20-year odyssey in creating Dada you can dance to. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanA gift for those already in the fold, for those who get the joke and just want to savor it with other like-minded fans. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittGigantic accomplishes something very difficult: It makes you feel like part of a club even if you aren't. |

| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyYou'll find yourself donning that wonderful half-smile John L. comfortably dons while singing. |
| TV GuideKen FoxDespite Schnack's half-hearted attempt to divide the film into chapters, his film is too unstructured to hold the interest of non-fans who might have appreciated a somewhat less hagiographic approach. |
