They are high school royalty: handsome, stars of the swim team and popular with girls. They live a perfect teenage life -- until the night of Franky's epic 17th birthday party, when Franky and Ballas are involved in an unexpected incident that changes their lives forever.Giant Little Ones is a heartfelt and intimate coming-of-age story about friendship, self-discovery and the power of love without labels. Giant Little Ones succeeds when it chooses to treat youthful identity as open to shift with accumulated experience. --The New York Times Josh Wiggins…more than lives up to his potential. --The Observer Lovely, funny and quite moving. --Buzzfeed Review: Wow. Stick with it. It's an AMAZING movie. - Giant Little Ones (the odd title is never explained) starts out like it's about straight teenage boys -- making out with girls, bragging about "doing it", and other crap I don't want to see or hear. I almost turned it off, figuring the only thing gay about it was going to be the side story about a father who ran off with another man. Then, after it took a gay turn, it seemed to be showing that homophobia is even worse in Canada than it is here, which could have been great (I'm tired of hearing that Canada is so much better and more progressive than the US) if it hadn't been so brutally upsetting that I had to skip over some of it. Finally, about halfway through, it turned out to be something completely different, not like any other movie I have ever seen, and everything about it is excellent. It's the story of lifelong best friends Franky and Ballas (where they got that name is beyond me, but it's highly distracting, and it's my only major complaint about the movie) who do everything together and obviously care a lot about each other. They both have affluent and supportive families (Franky's dad is the gay one, but he's still actively involved with his kids and his ex-wife) and go to an affluent, suburban and evidently all-white public high school in Ontario (filmed in Sault Ste Marie, but that's probably irrelevant). They're both good-looking, smart, popular, and on the school's swim team. They both have attractive, popular girlfriends, although Ballas is the one who brags about what he does with his. During a very drunken sleepover after Franky's birthday party, Ballas gives Franky a bj (shown only as moving covers on a bed in the dark with sound effects). Afterward Ballas is terrified, so he preemptively tells his girlfriend (and therefore the whole school) that he woke up with Franky giving HIM the bj. Some already-hinted-at homophobia at school breaks out of the closet (especially, and predictably, on the swim team), and Ballas leads an unbelievably cruel, prolonged and relentless verbal and physical attack on Franky. The fact that they'd been so close is what makes Ballas's cruelty so extraordinarily hard to watch. What sets this movie apart from and above every other movie about teenage coming-out is the amazing but entirely believable way Franky deals with what happens. I won't say any more, but this is far and away the best such movie I have ever seen (I've seen them all) or anyone else will see in several lifetimes. Franky is an amazing and completely original character, and Josh Wiggins, the actor who plays him, cannot be praised highly enough. I've never been a Kyle MacLachlan fan, but he's perfect as Franky's dad, as are Maria Bello as his mom and Darren Mann as Ballas. There are no weak performances in the movie, and the screenplay and direction are perfect as well. Even the brutal homophobia (which I'm sick of seeing in movies) is essential and never gratuitous, and it is totally transformed by Franky's amazing and transcendent -- and yet completely believable -- response to it. Very, very, VERY highly recommended. Review: Nearly Perfect Gay-themed Movie! Only One Problem. - It was refreshing to finally see a gay-themed movie that was completely realistic and didn't include the standard/stereotypical over-the-top characters that typically ruin movies of this genre. Every actor nailed his/her performance. I was particularly charmed by Josh Wiggins who played the main character, Franky. Excellent casting. I also loved Kyle MacLachlan's spot-on performance. I do have one major complaint. The all-important/plot-critical sex scene between the two young men was nothing more than a few brief, mysterious motions under a blanket in a very dark room. What a cop-out! At the very least, some kissing and foreplay should have been shown. It seems like gross negligence to cast two super hot young men in a gay-themed movie and then never actually show ANY romantic contact between them, particularly when it's the pivotal scene in the movie! I understand that some mystery or uncertainty about what actually happened was critical to the plot. But, skipping over it completely was a crucial mistake in a gay movie. Avoiding it seems almost anti-gay. It left me curious to know if the actors (who may be straight in real life) refused to do the scene or if there was some other rational behind that huge misstep. Despite the aforementioned error, this movie is far superior to the over-rated, pretentious "Call Me By Your Name" that most people raved about. I highly recommend "Giant Little Ones" to anyone who wants to see a beautifully written and almost-perfectly executed gay-themed movie! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Allison Black, Darren Mann, Josh Wiggins, Keith Behrman, Kyle MacLachlan, Maria Bello, Taylor Hickson Contributor Allison Black, Darren Mann, Josh Wiggins, Keith Behrman, Kyle MacLachlan, Maria Bello, Taylor Hickson See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,813 Reviews | | Format | DVD, NTSC, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama, LGBTQ+ | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 33 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** DVD, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Drama, LGBTQ+ - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 33 minutes ## Images ![Giant Little Ones [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fownZ7M+L.jpg) ![Giant Little Ones [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rUVeaJTBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow.

No maudlin cliches here, no soft core exploitation. The boys (20-ish performers playing 16 - 17) are preternaturally beautiful and very good actors, and that is enough -- intelligent suggestions of sex, locker room nudity, etc keep us in the story, and serve to evoke in us a sense of the reality of lust and sexual tension better than any literal exhibition of their flesh, or graphic erotic simulations ever could -- while at the same time the film is not at all coy about the fact that it is about the vagaries of adolescent attraction, both physical and emotional. It's kind of like an extended DeGrassi episode minus the lovable stupidity, and with a high degree of realism. This is evolved, aware film making -- not epic in scale like BROKEBACK, it only plays a few notes, but plays them very well. The actors never fail us -- the leads as well as those playing the parents and siblings, who thankfully are fully realized and have their own individual character arcs. Josh Wiggins in the lead, suggests a mix of young DiCaprio and young Matt Damon in looks, skill, vulnerability and honesty. Darren Mann as his troubled friend alternately broods and explodes like a young Brando. The two convey a deep, unexamined connection, fueling the action of the piece. A seasoned Kyle MacLachlan as an estranged gay dad mines subtle acting gold from an almost too-saintly deus ex machina voice of reason role. Everybody is good in this, without exception. All that and a comic nonbinary pal struggling to find the perfect prosthetic to stuff in their pants . . . ## Frequently Bought Together - Giant Little Ones [DVD] - Fair Haven - Hidden Kisses --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/125031809-giant-little-ones-dvd](https://www.desertcart.at/products/125031809-giant-little-ones-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
