The Gist: The Film is Subtitled: “The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” which tells you much of what you need to know. A barber’s (Johnny Depp) wife is stolen from him and he goes mad from rage and then curiously asks people if they want a shave (with one nefariously raised eyebrow), hacks them up and then uh… sings about it. Oh yeah, big surprise, director Tim Burton also cast his wife Helen Bonham Carter in it to play some scary witch-looking lady.
In Summary: It’s yet another Tim Burton only they break into song when they’re about to kill people (think “Sleepy Hollow” with songs). Oh yeah, and look for Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) who apparently makes an appearance in the film.
