Big Fish was a knock off of this movie.


Its shocking how much Big Fish pretty much stole from the general plot of this movie. Really sad

Two years later, but oh well: Big Fish is actually an adaptation of a 1998 novel by Daniel Wallace. Furthermore, the movies were released 2 months apart, so I don't see how either one of them could have ripped off the other.

well, that tends to happen. like "the straight story" and "abilene" looks like it has to be inspired by one and other, but they were both released around the same time. 1998-99.
i'd like to see this. think it aired on a movie channel a few months ago, or it was another movie with the same actor, but it must have aired few times, couse i thought i'd have good time to check it out but before i knew it it slipped away.


you don't have a face for the radio,
and that's the truth to be told,
though your voice make me fall off the floor,
i still have to say, u don't have a face for the radio,
i hope i won't have to make a choice,
between seeing your face or hearing your voice,
so stay around close,
you strike my heart like a love arrow,
you make the radio antenna stand straight up far,
on every receiver from city towers to highway cars,
though i hear all kinds of songs, but i place you on tracklist #1 top,
you put the electricity on and and give me a high shock,
let me tune into your frequency,
and there's no place i'd rather be,
but before you press play, i just gotta say,
it's the truth to be told,
u don't have a face for the radio.

No ripoffs. Just similar themes. Second Hand Lions was also similar.
