From the trailers it is easy to imagine Tim Burton’s new film, Big Fish, as just being more Hollywood fantasy tripe, with about as much depth as Chicago (how I love that film).
Surprising, then, is the fact that Big Fish is actually quite entertaining.
It’s not laugh out loud funny, but the tall tales being woven into a bizarre cornucopia of imagery and tangents. The bit parts are fantastically acted, even if Ewan McGregor’s accent is a little irritating.
A good film, that managed to surpass low expectations.
