Eh.

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2012)

It's a decent enough movie, for a bit of entertainment. Not one I'd be see at the theatre twice though. I have several problems with it; the first being that pretty well all the funny jokes are in the trailer. And the rest are utterly predictable.
There is no real 'love' story as Johnny's character seems to fall for any woman who offers a sexual favour. Even the witch who cursed him and killed his one supposedly true love. I can't help but think it's not a movie about love but lust. It cheapens love stories and makes them unbelievable. The sexual jokes get old very fast and frankly, they are nauseating.
Subplots. A movie should only have them if it actually contributes to the plot. But they don't, and most of them are unexplained and unfulfilled, which made me feel like the movie wasn't finished when it did. I guess they could be setting up for a sequel :S
In the beginning Victoria's character seems very important, however after a brief introduction she is forgotten about for the next half hour; sitting in the background like an extra. She tells him the tragic story of her life then suddenly she and Barnabas are somehow in 'love'. The connection between Josette's ghost and her (especially having the same face) is never explained. Are they actually the same person, reincarnated or something?
On a positive note, the costumes were amazing and the sets were gorgeous... if only they didn't have to burn it down.
