Sleeping with the Big Fishes

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2004)

I couldn't wait to see Big Fish, A nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all time favorite movies, which is why I was so disappointed by the over long, dull, sometimes magical, but often misbegotten story that these actors were forced to partake in.
From time to time a magical moment will arise, and then the film seemed to be about to take off only to be pulled in, sometimes even crash back to a story that is so thin, I could not believe they stretch the subject for a decent short film to a two hour yawn-a-thon.
For me Big Fish was the disappointment of the year because, it seemed to be all promise, but the promise never quite delivered. This sweet film, left me feeling pretty sour about film making that depends on no plot, no story, no performance but that of the pretty visuals.
