In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing BIG FISH (2003), currently streaming on HBO Max. Directed by Tim Burton, based on a novel by Daniel Wallace and screenwriting credits to John August, the film tells the story of Will Bloom (Billy Crudup), who on the cusp of becoming a father, learns that his father (Albert Finney) is near death. Returning home, he seeks to discover the truth behind the fantastical tales that made his father such a legend to many, but a stranger to his own son. The film is rated PG-13 and clocks in at 2 h 5 m. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
