Big Fish, Big Film, Big Impression

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

Having seen only a short trailer I already knew this was a film I would not want to miss. It's outright gorgeous. It proves one doesn't need an immense epic story to have enough material for a decent flick. It's lovable, sweet, funny, imaginative, fantastic. Nowhere does it get mushy, corny or standard. It's a tiny story, but what a tale it becomes! I won't give away any of the miracles, I can tell you it's about a guy whose father is about to die. Old man tells his fiancée about his life's events. He tells her not to believe him, like he never believed any of his stories. Whether or not particular events took place like he said is not certain for all of them, it sure is certain not everything was a lie. Let yourself be amused by the storytelling, the weirdest of adventures and funny dialogs. Filmed in beautiful colors too, great eye for details. I LOVE IT! (10/10)
