    It's alright, nothing lifechanging. It's one of those films you'll enjoy a lot when you're watching ... and then never think about again afterwards.

    I totally loved it!! Can't wait to get it on dvd and watch again and again and again. I love all Tim Burton's stuff and Ewan McGregor is always purdy to look at.
    And as for the storyline... well I always try not to live in the real world anyway so I thought it was amazing! Good entertaining movie that ya can totally loose yerself in! :D

    I'm with Pigman II - it's alright. It's a nice movie but far from memorable. A bit too saccharine in parts but its heart is in the right place. "The Barbarian Invasions" had some similiar themes of a son reconciling with his dying father but it was grounded in reality and black humour rather than fantastical distractions.

    I thought the film was great:D

    I love the bit when
    Ewan McGregor, Steve Buscemi and another guy are all sitting down at the table and Steve Buscemi and the other lad just keep smiling at Ewan McGregor and he just like wtf? :D... well you had to see it

    Big Turd more like.

    It's a kids movie. Not entertaining at all. It's just a couple of crappy non-imaginative stories stringed together.

    Very disappointed.

    I enjoyed the film. It was watchable, and entertaining, but other than that nothing really struck me as great.

    I wouldn't exactly call myself a big fan of Tim Burton now, but I do certainly enjoy a lot of his films, but this just doesn't measure up to the likes of Ed Wood as an instantly re-watchable classic.

    Saw it last night.
    The first hour was probably the worst hour of a movie I have seen in a long time.
    Weird,really weird and pointless.
    I was about to turn it off but didnt.
    The second half was good and almost redeemed the film.
    5/10 overall.

    I thought it was brilliant - I cried my eyes out at the end though. Very embarrasing! :o
