Full title: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Musicals are one of my guilty pleasures. Not that I feel very guilty, but I enjoy how the progression of the story gets wrap into music. While the music of Sweeney Todd is quite bland and at times too stereotypical, it does have it's moments. The films strength comes from the scenography, the performance of the actors and of course Tim Burton's fairytale style of directing. All in all an entertaining song and dance number with a few bucketfulls of blood... and meat pies.

Rickman's loathsome judge aside, I relished seeing Sacha Baron Cohen's character get it. But, Cohen always rubs me the wrong way.

I think Sacha Baron Cohen does a great character in this film! Not a big fan of some of his other works, though. (Bruno had it's moments, I think.) Also Rickman and Spall does great roles here. Utterly repulsive upper class as if it was natural to them :)
