content: i personally find johnny depp and christina ricci to be not only excellent actors, but incredibly aesthetically pleasing, so i looked forward to renting this particular film. Some reviewers of "The Man Who Cried" argue that the talents of the starring actors saved an otherwise horrifying script, but i disagree; not even sexual appeal could save this movie for me. i found the plot dull, difficult to follow, and unconvincing. if you adore these actors as i do, look elsewhere to fulfill your depp/ricci sweet tooth.
