Film Threat
A tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner.

Rolling Stone
Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent.

When it catches fire, this great-looking movie offers hilarious diversions.

Entertainment Weekly
The movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic piñata, crammed with tall tales -- with giants and circuses and fairy-tale woods, plus a huge squirmy catfish, all served up with a literal matter-of-fact fancy that is very pleasing.

ReelViews
Big Fish is a clever, smart fantasy that targets the child inside every adult, without insulting the intelligence of either.
