Yes, it's another Tim Burton/Johnny Depp/Helena Bonham Carter film, but it's a bit different this time.

It's a musical!

I was concerned by the thought of Johnny Depp singing but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Helena Bonham Carter had a great voice and acres of cleavage as well

I thought I'd struggle with two hours of musical but I enjoyed it and the time passed quickly. Occasionally it seemed like a Harry Potter film with Alan Rickman and Tim Spall playing parts in very similar styles to Snape and Wormtail. Spall looked just like he does as Wormtail and Helena looked just like Bellatrix! Spooky!

Sacha Baron Cohen is in it as well and was better than anything else I've seen him in.

A good film, almost Monty Pythonesque in a few parts
