This film will move you

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2004)

I go to the movies to be entertained and somehow, moved. I want to leave the theater thinking "wow", I got my monies worth.
A friend of mine told me that Big Fish was, "different". With that in mind, I went to see it. Well, it is a little different. But its a magical different. Beautifully filmed, the film seems to go in so many different directions. Each direction is interesting. Then toward the end, the whole story comes together with just a wonderfully magical ending.
I wouldn't call this an action film; nor is it a comedy, although it has many fun and interesting twists. I can't recall a movie in a long, long time, that in the end had viewers both crying and applauding.
Its been a couple days since I saw the film, and I am still smiling inside when I think about it. Go see it. I'm going again.
