Overview
Throughout his life Edward Bloom has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years, he remains a huge mystery to his son, William. Now, to get to know the real man, Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures.
This movie tries to use scenery and special effects to tell a heartwarming father-son story. For what it is trying to do, the movie is…. fine. It just needed to be something more. I can think of other movies that tried the same (The Fall comes to mind) that had the same goals and ended up with a much better movie. It really was a waste of a stellar cast.
