Movie Reviews of Big Fish
Movie Review: great movie, pointless BROWN COVER version
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is about the version with the brown cover with a leafless tree behind the black letters BIG FISH. It contains two things: the exact same movie you get for a dollar more than half the price of this version and a hardbound booklet. The booklet contains thirteen pages with one or two sentences on it, and ten pages with a drawing or picture. That's it. If you think such a booklet is worth collecting, go for it. I'd rather collect used tea bags. There are hundreds of reviews of the movie Big Fish. I'll just say that any flick that can make me laugh, cry, say "wow!", think "aw, that's sweet!", jump in surprise and watch again as soon as I've finished seeing the first time is a movie well worth buying. I lust wish I'd bought the cheaper version, without the booklet. See a longer review for more details about the movie. Or rent it. Or wait for it to be shown on tv again. [...] will tell you if it's on soon. Better yet, just buy it.
Summary of Big Fish
Throughout his life Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) has always been a man of big appetites enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years portrayed by five-time Best Actor Oscar? nominee Albert Finney (Best Actor in a Supporting Role Erin Brockovich 2000) he remains a huge mystery to his son William (Billy Crudup). Now to get to know the real man Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures in this marvel of a movie.System Requirements:Running Time: 125 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396008373 Manufacturer No: 00837After a string of mediocre movies, director Tim Burton regains his footing as he shifts from macabre fairy tales to Southern tall tales. Big Fish twines in and out of the oversized stories of Edward Bloom, played as a young man by Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge, Down with Love) and as a dying father by Albert Finney (Tom Jones). Edward's son Will (Billy Crudup, Almost Famous) sits by his father's bedside but has little patience with the old man's fables, because he feels these stories have kept him from knowing who his father really is. Burton dives into Bloom's imagination with zest, sending the determined young man into haunted woods, an idealized Southern town, a traveling circus, and much more. The result is sweet but--thanks to the director's dark and clever sensibility--never saccharine. Also featuring Jessica Lange, Alison Lohman, Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito, and Steve Buscemi. --Bret Fetzer
