Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Jessica Lange, Billy Crudup, Alison Lohman, Steve Buscemi

The son confronts his dying father to finally get to know the real person behind the old man's colourful stories. The story is entertaining, the cast is great and Tim Burton is the right director to visualise all the tall tales, but somehow the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Based on Daniel Wallace's novel.
