Unfunny gothic Frank Drebin alights on Sleepy Hollow.

Rating: 4/10 (7 February 2000)

I found this very disappointing, and I like Tim Burton. The whole film seemed like "Naked Gun 4:Ye Olde Days" starring Johnny Depp as an incredibly unfunny Frank Drebin, and I honestly couldn't stop thinking this whenever I saw him on screen. Christina Ricci's character seems so false and irritating I kept wishing she would loose her head in her opening scene! Saying this, the story is very good and Christopher Walken plays the most amazing character, although he is seen all too briefly for my liking - not much work for a lot of money no doubt. Miranda Richardson is by far the best talent in the film, unless Walken had more screen time. The story runs well but it seems to have missed what it was aiming for and doesn't know if it's trying to be a comedy or a gothic horror, and in this case the two just don't seem to mix.
