Tim Burton directs the fantasy drama Big Fish, based on the book Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Southern writer/illustrator Daniel Wallace. Billy Crudup plays William Bloom, a young man who never really knew his dying father, Edward (Albert Finney) outside of the tall tales he told about growing up, making his way, and meeting his mother (played as a young woman by Alison Lohman and in older age by Jessica Lange). During Edward's last days, William and his wife Josephine (Marion Cotillard) hold bedside vigil as the old man recollects elaborate memories of his youth (in which he is played by Ewan McGregor). Still doubting the the legends and folklore, William makes a journey to meet a mysterious woman (Helena Bonham Carter) from whom Edward had bought property. Steve Buscemi and Danny De Vito also star. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

A beautiful, inspiring film. It's one of those movies that reminds you why life is such a wonderful experience. It's a must-see.

I'm not necessarily a Tim Burton fan, but as a 60+ youngster I truly enjoyed this movie.

We watch everything Tim Burton does. We love him very much, we're big fans. This movie was not really our favorite Tim Burton movie. We found some parts of it depressing. It was still good. We would still recomend it but only to Tim Burton fans. If you don't know Tim Burton or haven't seen any of his movies, we recomend starting with Nightmare Before Christmas or Corps Bride.
