Eh. Big Fish was a mediocre film, 90% of which I saw in the trailer. It wasn't torture, but there was no meat to it. There was nothing beyond its face value, I kept waiting for the Burton twist and it never came.

And then he had to go and cram the same father-son sappiness into Charlie. What's with that? Burton used to be all about estranged children, children who might as well have been conceived by aliens and delivered to their parents (Vincent, Beetlejuice, every poem in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy). This new spate of "I love my daddy" films doesn't suit him.
