Went to see this movie because something tragic happened today. My girlfriend's bird died in a horrible accident. That image of discovering what happened to the bird is now stuck in our minds. That image of what happened remained in our minds long after the burial. It won't go away so we decided to go see this movie hoping to forget it for awhile.

And it worked. For awhile we forgot about what happened and enjoyed a terrific movie. Certainly the whole movie is (a bit) over the top but that's why it's great. Johnny Depp stole the show of course, he's character is the best thing in the movie. Sarcastic. Evil. Funny.

All in all, this movie was the best thing for us after what happened today.
