Title: Well-acted little gem
Review: Like many, I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp. And I would argue that his performance as a quirky performer of physical comedy is one of his best. Plus, it is a performance that works very well in a movie with so much oddity and sweetness.Overall, I would call this a romantic comedy. But it goes deeper than that, beyond the usual boy-meets-girl to the heart-breaking story of a brother and sister who cannot let each other go even when each has found his/her soulmate.The acting is stellar (not just Depp's!) and this is a story that should be appreciated for its sincerity and warmth and the courage to tackle the issue of mental illness while still keeping this a comedy.Well-done, all around.
