one of the great comedies of the 80's

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2007)

a great movie.this film is just a wonderful experience.its surreal,zany,witty and slapstick all at the same time.and terrific performances too.it was one of those movies that defined the 80's for me as a kid.it also did the impossible and make me briefly fall in love with winona ryder,here in her best role of her career. there's something in the colour of this film too,its inviting,its dark but its not very dark at all.i think its the kind of movie anybody could love as its harmless in its horror and broad in its humour. i don't think tim burton has bettered himself since.few comedies have surpassed it,i don't think anything will soon either.
