Sweet and endearing without a sugar overload!

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2004)

I watched this movie because my mom wanted to see it. I wasn't holding up very high hopes for it.
I was wrong!
It is wonderful. The story is rich and is told in a unique way as only Tim Burton could do. The characters are engaging, witty and fun to watch.

I think what I liked most about this movie is that, even though Ed Bloom may have exaggerated a bit, all his stories had a bit of truth to them.
There is a good moral at the end, but it never preaches, and it never talks down to the audience.
This is going on my 10-best list!
