Premise
Weird boy meets weird girl. Starring Johnny Depp.

Liked
The quirky first half.

Hated
The completely different tone in the second hour.

Thoughts
Don't remember much, other than that I hated it for suddenly turning into a different movie halfway through. It's one of my biggest pet peeves.

I liked Depp and female lead as the quirky couple, and the cute, memorable shoutout to Charlie Chaplain.

Second hour tried to be this serious tearjerker that came out of nowhere.

What I would change
Got rid of the second half.
