Big Fish

Sorry if this has been discussed (I did a search and I don't think it has).

Has anyone seen Big Fish? When I saw it I thought it was good but not fantastic. However, after mulling it over and listening to people who thought it was brilliant I have realized it really is an excellent film. I must go and see it again.

Slight spoilers:

Visually it's stunning (but what else do you except from Burton?); the score is wonderfully subdued (Elfman could have gone for a big thematic score a la "Edward Scissorhands" but i like the more minamilist approach a la "Good Will Hunting" or "Family Man"); the acting is excellent (especially MacGregor) and although the story is a bit "push-button" sentimenal, you can't deny it's a very entertaining yarn with some genuinely touching moments.

Better than most crap out there right now.

What do you think?
