Odd, but still charmingly cute!

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2006)

I do not know much of Burton's work and I decided to watch this movie based on the fact that I like good movies.
Victor (Depp) is to marry the beautiful Victoria (Watson), but during the rehearsal he gets the vows mixed up so he goes to the woods to practice. He proceeds to unknowingly ask the corpse Emily (Carter) to be his bride and she accepts; bringing him with her back 6 feet under.
It a charming, odd (but cute at the same time) and fun movie. It's not hysterically fun, but the way Burton uses irony to get the message across is thrilling. Burton also makes you guessing which one Victor will end up marrying in the end. This movie is good entertainment without being Oscar material. It makes me want to get into Burtons work and see what else he has done.
