Interesting, touching

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2004)

Big Fish is a little different from Tim Burton's usual movies, yet still whimsical, unrealistic, but yet very realistic. It seemed a little long at parts, but well worth a trip to the movies. My father-in-law, who loved to tell stories, died nearly 2 years ago after a stroke and so the movie was very touching to me. The ending is wonderful although it was very sad for my husband and I. I'd encourage you to watch it-teaches that maybe when we think we don't know our parents, maybe we really do and maybe there is some of them in us! Great actors in this movie - perfect roles for each of them.
