Edward Scissorhands - 8th June 2010

So from the funny to the plain weird. Tonight we watched Johnny Depp in; Edward Scissorhands.

Not sure about this film, yes it was touching, yes it was a feelgood film, but as for the actual plot.... well OK, but scissors for hands?

I guess you can call it a modern fairy story, but I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong, the way Tim Burton puts the film across is enchanting and sometimes magical, but there seems to be too much 'weirdness' for me.

Still, another film ticked off the list!

Synopsis;
When Pegg Bogs, the local Avon lady, attempts one last stop to sell her products, she wanders off to the mansion on top of the large hill in the suburb. Finding a unique and alone man named Edward with scissors for hands, Peg decides to bring Edward back with her into society. Edward makes a good impression and even falls in love with Peg's high school daughter Kim, but after a robbery with a framed Edward as the culprit, things in his life begin to go downhill and Kim finally understands his feelings.
