Movie propaganda
Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) has always been a teller of tall tales about his over-sized life as a young man (Ewan McGregor), when his wanderlust led him on an unlikely journey from a small town in Alabama, USA, around the world and back again. His mythic exploits dart from the delightful to the delirious as he weaves epic tales about giants, blizzards, a witch and conjoined-twin lounge singers. With his larger-than-life stories, Bloom charms almost everyone he encounters except for his estranged son Will (Billy Crudup). When his mother Sandra (Jessica Lange) tries to reunite them, Will must learn how to separate fact from fiction as he comes to terms with his father's great feats and great failings.

Theatrical report
Big fish (as in small pond) just didn't get my juices flowing despite having Ewan McGregor and Billy Crudup in it, and that's saying something.
