Fish Tale

Big Fish

Tim Burton's followup to his over-wrought and unfun Planet of the Apesis a delightful romantic fantasy complete with a Wonderful-Life finale.

That said, the film's episodic nature and desperate sincerity doesn't leave much of an aftertaste to enjoy.

While the whole may be less than the sum of its parts, the parts themselves are well worth exploring. Good cast, inventive scenery, and a down-to-earth outlook at outlandish events make this a worthy successor to Burton's Ed Wood, another film which allowed us to enjoy the random quirks of its characters.
