Stefan, if something of a sad sack, is also a charming big galoot who sincerely believes in love.

“Or just sail the other direction, you big galoot.”

In one corner, we have Kong: a soulful-eyed galoot who, as has been true since the original film, is just looking for a little tenderness.

Big galoot though he may be, the legendary 1933 “King Kong” has been careful to keep his distance from a national theatrical release for quite a while.

Naturally, Ralph, goodhearted galoot that he is, will learn the error of trying to control his friends, and also the folly of trying to commodify things such as respect and affirmation.
