big fish
ewan mcgregor, jessica lange, danny devito, steve buscemi et al.
its not often that a movie surprises me, but i have to say this one did, and it was a pleasant one. as long as you can roll with the initial punches, this is a really nice family flick that doesnt insult the audience's intelligence. maybe im just a sucker for good romanticism, but the way in which the plots & subplots of this movie panned out were very cool without being cliched. some really really funny & subtle moments, the end is largely predictable but i still didnt feel disappointed by it because the whole film was so enjoyable.
if youre after a funny & sweet film that doesnt piss you off with too much treacle, "big fish" could be for you.
4 fish out of 5.
