A delightful and charming tale

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2004)

A story isn't just a story. A story is shaped by the people who lived it, the people who heard it, and the people who repeated it. And that's what the movie Big Fish is all about.
I love stories. I love hearing them, telling them, reading about them, ect... And when the main character of the stories is Ewan MacGregor, you've got me. All of the actors did this story justice. I especially loved Jessica Lange and Albert Finney. I truly believed in their love for each other. Bravo, actors! A job well done.
The movie did start a bit slow; it took me about 25 minutes to really get into it, but then it took off, and I was enthralled. I loved the ending. This was one of those cases in which a "happy Hollywood ending" was not only expected, but needed. I loved it.
Rank: 9 out of 10
