An adventure as big as life itself.

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2006)

'Big Fish'is not my favorite movie from Tim Burton (like 'Ed Wood'and 'Edward Scissorhands')but I can say it is great as well. Ewan McGregor is excellent as usual and I loved to see Helena Bonham Carter blonde, in the role of the sweet Jennifer. It's the first movie I see with Alison Lohman, who is lovable and pretty.
Ed Bloom is sick and close to his death. Will Bloom, his son, after three years without talking to his dad, decides that now is the time to know him better and know the true behind the fabulous stories he always told him. He travels with his pregnant wife Josephine to his parents' house and stays there to make a company for his parents. Will is mad with his father because Ed never told him a single fact and many of the things he says''"don't make sense and mostly never happened at all''. When he was kid he felt fascinated, but now, as a adult he feels betrayed.
The movie show us the life of Edward Bloom told by his stories, in a fascinating and imaginative way. And the end is more surprising than many people can imagine!
This movie is very good and I totally recommend it for people of all ages! :)
