*** out of ****An enchanting fairy tale filled with unique characters, “Big Fish,” though based on the novel of the same name, could only be from the mind of Tim Burton. Will Bloom (Billy Crudup) is tired of his father’s stories, which are so farfetched that he feels he actually knows nothing about him. However, he eventually learns that his father (Ewan McGregor as young Ed Bloom, Albert Finney as the senior version) may, indeed, be truly larger than life. Charming and enticing, “Big Fish” will capture your imagination (and your heartstrings) and never let go. Finney is perfect in his role, one that deserved at least an Oscar nomination. 2003, 125 mins.
