if you are a weepy moviegoer, you'll need tissues

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2004)

Certainly Tim Burton's best work to date, this movie could have been so much MORE but was still enough to make half the audience sniffle and shed a tear (or several) throughout the last half. If you get sucked in, as I was from the beginning of the credits, you will find yourself transported through a journey that is both whimsical and filled with humanity. If nothing else, this story renewed my faith in the concepts of soulmates, love, and surprise endings.
