Story: | 
In the heartwarming film "Big Fish," director Tim Burton ("Batman," "Edward 
Scissorhands") brings his inimitable imagination on a journey that delves 
deep into a fabled relationship between a father and his son. Edward Bloom 
(Finney) has always been a teller of tall-tales about his oversized life 
as a young man (McGregor), when his wanderlust led him on an unlikely 
journey from a small-town in Alabama, around the world, and back again. 
His mythic exploits dart from the delightful to the delirious as he weaves 
epic tales about giants, blizzards, a witch and conjoined-twin lounge 
singers. With his larger-than-life stories, Bloom charms almost everyone 
he encounters except for his estranged son Will (Crudup). When his mother 
Sandra (Lange) tries to reunite them, Will must learn how to separate fact 
from fiction as he comes to terms with his father's great feats and great 
failings.
