In CinemasBig Fish Synopsis - MyMovies.net
In the heartwarming film "Big Fish, " director Tim Burton ("Batman, " "Edward Scissorhands") brings his inimitable imagination to a story that that delves deep into a fabled relationship between a father and his son.
Sony Pictures have been left rather shamefaced after their claims that their new movie, Tim Burton‘s "Big Fish, " had toppled "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" from the top of the US charts were proved embarrassingly wrong.
But a final tally on Monday proved the reverse to be true: "The Return of the King" had, in fact, taken in $400, 000 more than "Big Fish." Sony distribution chief Jeff Blake insisted that the mistake was not "maliciously intended." "It was just a situation where we thought we had the right to anticipate a better Sunday than we got, " he attempted to explain.
Jessica Lange is to join the cast of Tim Burton‘s next movie "Big Fish." Based on Daniel Wallace‘s novel "Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions, " the story revolves around a dying father (Albert Finney) and his son (Billy Crudup), who is trying to learn more about his dad by piecing together the stories he has gathered over the years.

Tagline: An adventure as big as life itself..
A web-like tapestry woven of stories both real and exaggerated, Big Fish is the story of Edward Bloom and those who love him.
He is taken in particular with an article about goldfish, in which he learns that 'if goldfish are kept in a small bowl, they will remain small.
With more space, the fish can double, triple or quadruple its size.' Ten years later, after becoming one of the most popular young men in Ashton, Alabama, he realizes that, like the goldfish, in order for him to grow he must leave home and explore the world.
His mythic exploits range from the delightful to the surreal, interweaving epic sagas about giants and werewolves, conjoined Korean lounge singers, a witch with a glass eye that can see the future - and of course, a big fish that refuses to be caught.
Big Fish is a little too uneven to attain the same level as something like The Wizard of Oz or The Princess Bride, but it's in the same general vicinity.
Big Fish is a clever, smart fantasy that targets the child inside every adult, without insulting the intelligence of either.
When he doesn't, we admire his visual imagination and skillful techniques, but isn't this doodling of a very high order, while he waits for a purpose to reveal itself? [read review] 2.2/4 --ROGER EBERT (Chicago Sun-Times) With hit-and-miss success, fantasy maestro Tim Burton fuses live-action cartoon and father-son drama in 'Big Fish.' Chief among the pic's delights is Albert Finney in the central role, a man whose life has been defined by amazing adventures--or a rich imagination.

'...BIG FISH turns into a wide-eyed Southern gothic picaresque in which each lunatic twist of a development is more enchanting than the last...'.
