Jack Corcoran (Bill Murray) is a mildly successful motivational speaker on the lower end of the trade-show circuit. At his engagement party, he finds out his long-believed-dead dad has only recently died, leaving him a large inheritance. Of course, Jack doesn't know how large until he meets a suspicious lawyer (Harve Presnel) who unloads Dad's prized possession: a four-ton circus elephant named Vera (Tai). Larger Than Life is a buddy-road movie. Murray uses his old tricks to bully or con several people into helping him, including a whacked-out truck driver (Matthew McConaughey). In this day and age of digital effects, Murray could be teaming up with Roger Rabbit or some other special effect; his interplay with Tai is quite natural. Director Howard Franklin codirected the underrated Quick Change with Murray, and it's clear they work well together. A curio in Murray's career, this film is effective and fun family entertainment, filled with good-natured ribs, bubble-light dramatics, and a scene-stealing elephant. She's a charmer. --Doug Thomas

I am not a big Bill Murray fan, but this movie changed my mind. This is just a cute little movie. I own it and watch it quite often because it always makes me laugh and feel good. If anything, it is worth seeing just to watch Matthew McConaughey's role as a off the wall truck driver! He will have you rolling on the floor laughing! He almost steals the movie from Bill Murray and the elephant! Watch it! You won't be sorry!

I SUPPOSE you could say the notion of a guy inheriting a female elephant from a dead parent (or parent figure) that he then must travel cross-country with is an idea that could occur to more than one writer ... but it may be just general enough that the originating writer need not be credited. Which is too bad. For LARGER THAN LIFE is clearly an update and paraphrase of the period British novel ROSIE IS MY RELATIVE, written by the late naturalist Gerald Durrell. Though the episodes in the film are ... Read More

I was so impressed that I recieved my DVD within 2 days!!
Larger than Life is such a funny movie. It seems not many people have heard of this movie but I highly recommend seeing it. I had looked all over for it in the stores to buy and it was nowhere to be found. I knew I would be able to find it on amazon and for a great price.
If you liked Groundhogs Day with Bill Murray, you will like this. It also has a small cameo with Matthew McConaughey that was hilarious!!, you won't ... Read More

Yes.. it is a little cheesy, but it makes me smile. Watching the elephant in the lake and seeing the simple joy from that animal makes the world go away and makes me thankful for the things I take for granted. This is by no means my favorite movie but it is in a group of 5...make me feel better movies.
