    Great story line but amateurish

    This story really grabbed my attention. Emotional in its very nature and well written. For the most, scenes were believable and the music was phenomenal! Delivery was good, especially with the main actors. Disappointments came from sound imbalance and color. I had to turn up the volume to hear some lines then quickly back down so not to get blasted. Also, there were a few places the picture was either not completely focused or the lighting was bad. I'd love to see what Hollywood could do with this.

    Very Good Film!

    I went into this movie with no expectations not knowing anything about it. It is very well done on the low budget the film had. The locations are beautiful and the soundtrack sets it apart from other movies done in this way. All the actors did a fine job in getting the feelings of their characters across. You will wish Roxy was your daughter minutes into the movie. This film shows almost all aspects of human nature both good and bad. And that sometimes it does one well to remember how kids look at things. It is said this is a Bigfoot movie but it is so much more. Yes Bigfoot is the running backbone of the film but it brings out so many more emotions then that. You will do yourself well to check this film out.

    Great Bigfoot Drama!

    The filmmakers did a professional job, the music was excellent and what a take on the big hairy guy, very well done! The rich kid was a little much, but the story of the two lead girls and the wish was handled and portrayed beautifully - great job!

    Bigfoot fans will enjoy this indie film

    I recently watched this Bigfoot indie film and came away impressed with the production. It is a pretty impressive film considering the movie was so low-budget. The positives of the film include the acting from most of the main cast, the outstanding music that really enhanced many of the scenes, and the cinematography. There are two parts of the film that are simply amazing, those being a sequence in the middle where each of the three main characters are confronted by someone close to them and the ending which is more than satisfying. No matter what someone thinks of the rest of the movie, the ending is worth the watch. Bigfoot fans will enjoy the way the creature is portrayed throughout the film but the viewer does not know if a real Sasquatch is in it until the very end. The negatives of the film include inconsistent performances from the supporting actors though none could be described as being bad, a character that takes up too much screen time but is well-played by the actor, some stiff and cliched dialogue, and redundancy in a few of the scenes in about the first thirty minutes. A Wish for Giants is definitely worth viewing, especially for Bigfoot fans.

    A Feel Good Movie

    This movie is a cute Indie film that will pull at your heartstrings. I found it enjoyable to know most of the landscape in the film. Keep in mind that this film is a small independent film with local actors...but they do a good job getting the point of the storyline across. I watched it with my young children so it is family friendly.
