What did everyone think of "Big Fish"?

[absyntheNsugar]

I'm not a softie, but this flick made me cry. Damn, I still get misty eyed when I think of the end of the flick!

It may have been a tug-at-the-heartstrings flick, but damned if it wasn't effective!

Especially for those of us out there with father issues...

1. I was sobbing my eyes out...about the last 15 minutes. It made me

think of my husband and his father. It is a very sweet movie. I totally agree with you on the issues part. :)

2. The ending was emotional

and I thought it was a beautiful way to end it. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The rest of the movie was a bit of a mixed bag. I felt it could've been better in some places and the plot could have used some working out.

I give it an 8 out of 10.

3. I was pretty disappointed in it...

I thought Finney was great but the rest left me blah.

4. It drove Spalding Gray over the edge...

I've been a fan of Spalding's for so long, and if it was enough to drive him to jump off the Staten Island Ferry (as seems to sadly be the case) I don't think I could handle it, partly because of the Spalding connection, and partly out of fear that I'd have the same susceptibility.

I hope I'm wrong, and that he turns up in some Paris love nest with the chick from Amelie. But he didn't take his wallet when he left the house...

5. Not a bad film

It was better than I expected it to be.

[Skittles]

6. I thougt it was good

and that guy - Finney? What a GREAT actor.

7. Stayed away from it...

as I try to do with almost all Tim Burton movies

8. I loved it

I loved the mythical, larger than life character of it. I loved the father-son issues and the way it all played out at the end. I loved the way parts of it were shot. I thought it was creative, fun, poignant, funny, imaginative.

"It has a good beat and you can dance to it, Dick. I give it a 96."

9. me too

and I thought it was hokey and manipulative, and I still cried, but I was getting over breaking up with my girlfriend, so I think it was sort of a combined/comulative cry.
