Deb and I saw Sweeney Todd over the weekend, and apparently the fact that it is a musical took some other patrons completely by surprise. That doesn't come across so well in the trailers and previews. I only have a couple of notes. One is that I'm not sure it was totally necessary to see the bodies crunch into the ground every single time, but I guess everyone on set was pretty pleased with the effect. The other thing is that a movie like this does not get a happy ending. That's just the way things are, and you could deduce this from the subject matter before going to see it. That said, it was worth the time.

PS - I tend to forget by the end that I'm watching a musical if it's good.
PPS - That's more the result of a good movie than the music, though.
