A beautiful, heart-wrenching classic.

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2004)

Edward Scissorhands is a true classic. It had me bawling by the end. The story is about a man named Edward who is man-made by an old inventor. The inventor dies before he completes Edward so Edward is left with scissors as hands. He lives alone in the inventor`s old castle on top of a hill until such time as a friendly avon lady named Peggy comes along and decides to take him home with her. He falls in love with Peggy`s daughter, is wooed by a neighbourhood resident (but she cries rape after Edward refuses to have sex with her...take note: this is not a dirty film AT ALL! It`s done very tastefully.) and ultimately is run out of the town because of some mistakes he made (most of them without even realizing it). It`s a tale of a true outcast trying to make it in the real world under some very unusual circumstances. Johnny Depp, once again, does a brilliant job. He really doesn`t say much in the movie, and what he does is usually one word comments, but every thought and emotion is shown through actions and facial expression, Johnny`s forte. The movie is a romantic drama, highly underrated, and very exquisite. I love this movie and I think if you give it a chance, you will too.
