Description
On the backdrop of his father Edward Bloom's cancer, Will Bloom, an international journalist, and his wife, French photojournalist Josephine Blum, pregnant with her first child, left for Paris to return to Ashton, Alabama, to see him. They both left in mysterious circumstances but his father quickly dies Edward. Although there was a direct connection to Will's mother - Edward's wife, Sandra Blum -, Will was neglected for three years. After Edward's death, his father's case will be one of Edward's fairy tales and may reveal many surprises.

Burton invokes the imagination from his crowd and succeeds in making us gasp in wonder.

Overall, the film feels like it issues from a place Burton doesn't inhabit.

Never has going fishing or getting caught been such a treat.

A disappointingly dull thud of a fantasy.

Burton, favoring form over content, flavor over fact, has been often criticized for not knowing how to bring his work to satisfactory resolution. But I'd call that a good thing. Blame it on his dad.

the father-and-son story to beat all father-and-son stories
February 09, 2006
The film doesn't so much reject history as selectively rewrite it to its own reactionary, even offensive ends. This might perhaps be just about tolerable were the film funny, illuminating, insightful or moving. It is not.

A compelling look at the relationships between fathers and sons, and the child coming to terms with the parent's mortality.
September 25, 2010
Reliant more on powerful familial emotions than wacky splendor, "Big Fish" treads as close to our real world as Tim Burton ever could - a melancholy dissection of paternal distance and never truly knowing how many lives those we love can truly affect.
March 16, 2004
Burton shows the rivalry between father and son but not the rancor, which seems to fit with the film's calm lyricism. But the father-son conflict is meant as the dramatic crux, and a forceful actor would have given it some much-needed bite.

Delightful, sad father-son story for teens and up.

A long-winded indulgence in tear-and-a-smile whimsy.
