Rated: PG-13 Running Time: 2 hours 5 minutes Synopsis 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, All Movie Guide
