Negative Positive
Title: Overplayed and quite predictable
Review: Yes, Johnny Depp provides another great performance here, as does most of the cast. The story line is what drags this movie down. Beyond the slew of predictable lines and scenarios, I found the message of the film a bit shallow. "Love conquers all...including schizophrenia." It's just not life-like. Some of the imagery and allusions are heavy-handed at times. I wanted to scream, "OK, I get it." Not a terrible film, but not that great either. If you want to see a more compelling Depp film, see "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."
