Big Fish (2003)

Cast: Ewan McGregor (Ed Bloom - young), Albert Finney (Ed Bloom - old), Billy Crudup (Will Bloom)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Big Fish page.

This is a classic example of a situation where I shouldn't have allowed myself to be swayed by the critics and Golden Globe nominations. I like to have seen all the movies nominated by the Golden Globes (or at worst by the Oscars, since many get nominated for both), so I moved Big Fish from my Netflix list to my movies to see list and we saw it.

I fell asleep. That's how boring it was. And, worse yet, I didn't miss ANYTHING I hadn't already seen in the previews when I fell asleep. The scene where the world stopped and popcorn froze in the air (featured prominently in the previews) was the only truly cool scene in the movie.

Definitely a rental when you have nothing better to do. Don't even put it high on the Netflix list. You've seen most of the movie if you've seen a preview.

Grade: C-
