Sweeney Todd

One movie we've watched recently was Sweeney Todd. I had to see it because it has Johnny Depp in it, he's nice to look at! :) I was a little hesitant because it is rated R, but it's only rated R for bloodiness. So we took a chance and watched it. We weren't really impressed, at least with the movie. The music was FANTASTIC! Who knew Johnny Depp could sing? I have since bought the soundtrack and have listened to it many times. There are some great actors in it, and I have to admit that the more I think about the movie the more it grows on me especially because of how much we like the music. Bo says he jokes when people ask him about how a movie was, he usually tells them that everyone dies in the movie. He said after this one that he could honestly say that's really what happens. The bloodiness of the movie is rather fake-ish, but it is a pretty dark, serious movie. I watched it in concert on YouTube, and it was much more funny, or at least it had some humorous parts in it. I did feel a bit like I was watching Harry Potter though; Snape, Wormtail, and Bellatrix LaStrange co-star with Johnny Depp. They all sing their own parts, and really they do a wonderful job. Bo says he wants to own the movie because we like the music so much, but really it was just an okay movie. It might be worth seeing once if you can stomach the blood, but I would definitely listen to the Soundtrack if you are into Broadway style music.
