A celebration of freaks

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2004)

The film's main heroes are two borderline weirdos, which is, in a politico-philosophical way, very refreshing (at least we're over with the always-good-in-everything-heroes like John Wayne or Charlton Heston). All the characters close to the common way of life (and not only the American way of life, I can assure you that) are boring while the freaks are really funny (I mean you laugh with them, not against). Artistically talking, there's everything that makes a good Burton movie : an intelligent use of colors, an entertaining music and, wahoo !, Winona.
