A Magical, Mesmerizing and Moving Masterpiece!

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2004)

The greatest movie I've ever seen! Big Fish will have you laughing, whooping, clapping and, at times, crying through a tremendous grin on your face. It's poignant, funny, romantic, and inspirational at every turn.

Big Fish is a Tim Burton film that doesn't constantly remind you it's a Tim Burton film. Possessing the brilliance of Burton's ability to create pure magic, it also draws you into a very real place--your own heart. You believe these characters, you *know* these characters. Edward Bloom (young) is the eager kid we all once were--full of promise and aspiration. Edward Bloom (old) is the person we all aspire to become--loving and loved, a man who lives with no regrets...and the best darn story-teller to ever draw a breath of life.
This film is splendidly written, acted and directed. A must-see for everyone! As soon as the end credits rolled, I was ready to watch the next showing.
