This movie was surprisingly good, although the music can be a bit much at times and a lot of it is repetitive(for effect). It's probably the most twisted Burton movie...I'd highly recommend it if you think you can bear through a lot of singing and Christina Ricci trying to be passed off as a 15 year old.

Sacha Baron Cohen brings the LOLz with his cameo.

Anyone else see it?

I've seen it three times, all incredibly high.

i was mediocre high. i think i would have enjoyed it in any state of mind.

except maybe drunk. i might get annoyed with all the singing while drunk.

Yea, I was surprised by this movie as well...I'm not crazy for musicals, but this one was pretty good.

I am kind of interested in seeing, but I have a morbid hate of musicals.

seconded.

I don't mind musicals too much unless they're done super annoying and shittily (*cough* Family Guy *cough*). I gotta give Depp the benefit of the doubt though...

Go look at clips on Youtube of the George Hearn versions, that'll give you a good idea of what to expect, story-wise. I loved the movie, personally, and the songs came off well.

you have to admit the new simpsons musicals are far worse.

this was great. worth watching even if you don't care for musicals. ending was swizzle.

Great flick.

A lot of people that normally hate musicals can like this. The music is very impressionistic and dissonant. I hear a lot of Ravel and DeBussy influence in this Sondheim work.

Christina Ricci wasn't even remotely in this movie. Just, y'know, FYI.

one of the more graphically violent mainstream movies in years...

i still havent see that movie...
