Musical comedy at its best

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2009)

Tim Burton delivers yet again.This has to be among his most prized works since it received a Best Picture Golden Globe.It wouldn't have been possible without Johnny Depp who undoubtedly deserved the Golden Globe for Best Actor.He was well supported by Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman who in their respective performances were terrific.
The songs were to a surprise well sung by the lead actors.It would have definitely looked a bit artificial had the songs been entrusted to a professional singer.Johnny and Alan deserve kudos for taking this film to a higher level.
The characters are well worked out by Tim Burton who deserves special mention for making a special musical film which would be thoroughly enjoyed by people of all ages.
