My Bullet Point Review Of Sweeney Todd

HIGHS

  • Easily one of Tim Burton's greatest achievements.
  • Fantastic cast. Who knew Johnny Depp could sing like David Bowie?
  • As made evident by the South Park movie and now Sweeney Todd, any musical is made better by gratuitous bloodshed.

LOWS

  • One of the theatre attendants commented that people have been walking out of the movie because "they didn't realize it's a musical." Idiots.

TORREY'S OPINION
Strongly Recommended (as long as you enjoy musicals)

RANDOM RELATED FACT
To prepare for the role of Adolfo Pirelli, Sacha Baron Cohen hired his personal barber as a consultant on shaving techniques. He spent 16 hours learning how to handle a razor.

No lows worth noting. It would just be nit-picking and why bother? The pros far outweight anything I'd come up with.
