A Tim Burton Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2007)

My current personal favorite movie of all time. You either get Tim Burton or you don't. If you "get" him, then this is a must see. If you don't "get" him, watch it anyway, you might enjoy. Not as dark as most of his flicks and great performances by just about everybody involved. Very funny and very moving at the same time. Ewan McGregor was especially good. After seeing him previously in only his Star War flicks and several other films, I was not particularly impressed with his acting. This film gave him a chance to show his true ability. Would like to see him team with Burton again. Steve Buscemi's performance was also impressive, as usual.
