Critics Consensus: A clever, absorbing documentary about They Might Be Giants, a musical duo whose brainy, idiosyncratic brand of pop has earned them decades of cult success.

Prepare yourself for nights wandering around the house singing unshakable tunes.
The flabby, fawning film Gigantic comes across as 102 minutes of rib-nudging by one of the duo's annoyingly self-satisfied connoisseurs.
Predictably, 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.
Tries to be as irreverent and bouncy as a song by its subject, and succeeds for the most part.
A modest amusement.
As tooting-your -own-horn documentaries about innovative alt-rockers who've been around for 20 years go, Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns goes very well indeed.
Gigantic documents how much work goes into the making of twee music.
Gigantic may not be as different a music movie as it thinks it is, what with its by-the-book fluffiness. But that's OK, really, since it's a fun watch anyway.
Engrossing, fun and oddly touching, Gigantic makes you wish the best for these guys.
Comforting and pleasant.
Suffers the same banal fate of most band documentaries. It's essential for rabid fans but even ordinary ones will live rich and meaningful lives without ever having seen one minute of it.
As a film, Gigantic is excessive and poorly structured.
