Film Threat - Unnamed
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 - Peter Travers
Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent.

Newsweek - David Ansen
When it catches fire, this great-looking movie offers hilarious diversions.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
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 - James Berardinelli
Big Fish is a clever, smart fantasy that targets the child inside every adult, without insulting the intelligence of either.
