Review of The Man Who Cried (2000) by Monsieur R — 29 Aug 2010
Huge disappointing film that pretends to be an epic film experience but fails on every level. You barely see Johnny Depp, but are forced to watch the lead actress who must be someone's daughter in the industry. You will be forced to hear and see opera nonsense and a horse onstage crapping. This film really sucks. The egomaniac opera star is a bore and full of himself.
The lead actress is terribly inexperienced and far too young to play the role.
This film is hardly worth anyone's time and if you enjoy an apparently 14 year old lead actress pretending to be 24, watch it. She is homely and plain. Depp is wasted in this one as well.
It will interest you to know Roger and Ebert have given this one their great TWO thumbs up nonsense. "Sold out" to hollywood I would say.
Ps, unless you like opera tenors singing all through the film, forget this film, it is extremely annoying.
