****An iCheckMovies Listed Movie Review****
The story revolves around a dying father and his son, who is trying to learn more about his dad by piecing together the stories he has gathered over the years. The son winds up re-creating his father's elusive life in a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts he knows. Through these tales, the son begins to understand his father's great feats and his great failings.
Essentially a man has spent his life telling people stories of his life. As he lays on his death bed, his son recounts these tales and the story of his life while hoping to uncover their veracity.
Big fish has to be one of the most creatively boring movies I've ever seen. It really is an elaborate fantasy, and one of the most colorful Tim Burton films. But oh, man is it boring. The highlight of the movie was Danny Devito looking Like Ron Jeremy in a circus chimp outfit.
Violence? Does a face punch count?
Explosions? Of tall tales
Nudity? Some booty. Some booby.
I saw this forever ago and it truly is boring. Creative, sure, but oh so boring.
ReplyDeleteI never thought colors could bore me. The Ron Jeremy cameo saved this film.
