At a recent girls night in it was unanimously agreed that Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman were the two yummiest men in the entire universe. The jury is still out on Sam Jackson but that's a different story. So, two hugely lovely men in the same film is a huge plus point to start with.
The story is a given, it's well known and not too messed about with but what gives it the edge is the songs. Helena BC singing about how bad her pies are, while crushing bugs with her rolling pin, is hillarous and the openning scene with Sweeny's return to London is atmospheric and sets the gothic chill to the whole film.
It really isn't for the fain hearted as it is very bloody, but it has black comedy, great songs and a gripping story. The fact that the two most gorgeous men in the word sing a duet about pretty girls is just the icing on the cake.
